This is a quick and dirty hack which brings back the old xend solution,
with all the brokenness and caveats described in IanJ's mail from last
night (it's worse than the previous xend solution if anything).

We should _not_ be recommending to users that they do this. Stefano,
please do not muddy the waters for people trying to upgrade by doing so.

The upgrade notes should continue to consistently point to the relevant
distro documentation and to provide associated guidance.

This option is not commented out in the default xend-config.sxp in the
xen-unstable.hg tree. There should be no need to uncomment it.
