The xen RPM in Fedora isn't new enough to support libxl builds
yet. Disable it until Fedora 16
Q: What actually is the min required Xen ? Is xen 4.0.1
in fact sufficient ? If so I'll change this to s/16/15/
* libvirt.spec.in: Disable libxl on Fedora < 16

ACK to the code change (modulo the value), but don't push until you have
your answer from Jim or someone else regarding the right value.

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.
Regards,
Jim

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?

Yep, good suggestion. I'll put together a patch later today.
Thanks,
