Please avoid top-posting, it breaks the flow of the conversation.

Yes, those are the tools I was referring to.

OK, this is not the tools I was referring to. Sadly someone decided to
create a completely different application that's used for provisioning
vm images, and decided to name it xen-tools. This is not mandatory in
order to run a Xen Dom0.

No.
