I've decided to hold out on building RPMs for a bit more
for two reasons:

1) the kernel/hypervisor interface might still change
   before 2.0, so it's probably best if people keep
   building them together

2) rpm crashes inside xenU, doing gettimeofday, sleep
   and then another gettimeofday, probably a divide by
   zero

In short, I'll be spending my effort trying to get a few
obvious bugs fixed before inviting other people over to
discover more bugs ;)
