OK, that makes sense, e.g.:

ln -sf `(cd ${src}/boot; echo vmlinuz-2.6.*-xen0)` vmlinuz-2.6-xen0
ln -sf vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 vmlinuz-xen0

We should do something similar with the xen version numbers too.

etc.

Personally, I'd quite like to also have a separate make target that
creates the links in the dist/install/boot directory as it would avoid
me having to keep editing my domain config scripts all the time...
