Dear Ian,

I have written out all the steps for building and installing from 
Xen-4.2-unstable, as follows:
Building Xen-4.2-unstable

If you wish to build and install from xen-unstable.hg instead,

cd
git clone git://github.com/lloyd/yajl
cd yajl
sudo apt-get install ruby cmake
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
cd xen-unstable.hg
./configure
make world
sudo make install

I have also added the above steps into my Installation Instructions PDF 
document version 1.1.
Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
