This is true. I think we're missing a bunch of unpackaged dom0 scripts (we 
really need to package those) plus vncterm plus the host installer-- can you 
think of anything else? We should probably consider dropping vncterm and 
replacing it with qemu's text console. That would leave the scripts + the 
installer.

I think if we get the rough shape of an ideal XCP ISO build mapped out 
(something like: use 'mock' to generate binary RPMs from SRPMs; use 'rpmchroot' 
+ 'mkisofs' + ? to build CD) then the act of "debugging" that would cause us to 
tidy up, package and publish all the remaining bits 'n pieces IYSWIM :)

Cheers,
Dave
