I don't think this is correct.

I think "-c" shouldn't affect the functionality of the domain, just
whether the console is initially connected.  Perhaps the console will
be connected somewhere else.

OTOH I think it would be fine to have an option (libxl config
parameter, I guess) to make pygrub run noninteractively.
