Xen 4.0.x contains some "tech preview" libxenlight bits, but it is buggy
and missing quite a bit of functionality. Xen 4.1.0 is the first release
with a usable libxenlight IMO. Also, the API changed quite a bit between
Xen 4.0 and 4.1 and I have not attempted to make the libxl driver work
with the preview libxenlight.
Can we enhance the configure test (when there is no explicit
--with-libxl) to reject the 4.0.x library, by requiring linking with a
function that only exists in 4.1?
