Re: [Xen-devel] stable / unstable parallel install?

$(prefix)/libexec/xen ;)

I think it would be a very good idea to have the install prefix
configurable (extra bonus for an environment variable to
overwrite this at runtime ;).

I can go through the tools build system and try to fix that
everythere.  Probably it's needed anyway, I havn't managed yet
to make the 3.x tools work in a non-standard location.  xend
comes up, xm list & xm dmesg works as well, but booting domU's
doesn't work.  Tested with unpatched xen & xenlinux & tools of
course, so this shouldn't be a hypercall interface issue.
With 2.x it works fine.  Start script is attached below for
reference.

BTW: IIRC libexec is deprecated these days, I think
arch-specific stuff just goes to lib (including binaries) and
non-arch stuff to share.
