Probably you'd need to patch libxl (but not xm) too.

On my todo list I have an action to make the configure script understand
--with-system-qemu=PATH, which would disable the qemu-xen build and
cause libxl to use $PATH (default /usr/bin/qemu?) instead
of /usr/lib/xen/bin/blah. If someone else were to get there first that
would be awesome!

./configure --(enable|disable)-qemu-traditional (i.e. just turn the
build off and on) would be quite useful too I think. As would making
libxl handle the absence of either a little more gracefully.

Ian.
