It's been discussed before and it would be difficult due to the number of
people who have contributed under GPLv2 already. For libxenctrl, your best
bet is reimplementation of the pieces you need -- there's nothing very
complex in libxenctrl. If you need libxenguest, that's another matter...
Might be best to wrap it in its own process for licensing reasons.
