Hmm - I suppose it would be more symmetric. You have '-c' for 'xm/xl create', 
corresponding to 'xm/xl console'. I suppose '-vnc' (or whatever) would then 
correspond to 'xm/xl vncviewer'.

I personally prefer the 'vncauto thing', as I always want to see the boot 
msgs, and I don't want to miss any because I forgot to add the option, and 
have to do a 'xm/xl vncviewer/console' after some of the msgs have scrolled 
away. (It's amazing how some stdout/errout msgs never make it into a log 
file.)
