...and the other thing is they ise /etc/xen/auto for auto-starting domains. 
While 
you can create non-autostart domains using "xm create name_without_path", you 
must 
specify the full patch for autostart domains. Which I don't like.

Using PATH for configuration file is overkill IMHO. Wouldn't xend be the place 
to 
configure a configuration file search path, or is xm completely independent 
from 
it?
