You're probably also going to want feedback from the xen-api list,
adding them to the CC.

Great! We (Xen.org) are very interested in helping you with the process.

XCP has a near equivalent with the xl command, which uses the libxl
backend. Backwards compatibility (with the exception of being able to
use arbitrary python code embedded) is the goal.

xe is a frontend to xapi. You will likely need a new driver for this.
There is work in progress on the libvirt side of things for xapi
support

This thread made shed some more light on the issue
subject: "[Xen-devel] Re: [libvirt] [RFC] libxenlight driver"

see xl command from above.

Please let us know if you need more detail or have more questions.
