It would be great if you were to test building xapi on Arch. I don't 
expect it'll actually work right away, but getting it building and 
running would be a good start.
You should probably be using opam for this. opam is a package management 
tool for OCaml software that has good settings for developers. See 
http://www.ocamlpro.com/products/opam.html for instructions for 
installing opam.
Once you have opam running, add xen-org's opam-repo-dev by doing

$ opam remote add xen-org git://github.com/xen-org/opam-repo-dev.git

and do an 'opam update ; opam install xapi'. After that, if you're 
interested in development, you can clone the xen-api git repo and then 
pin the xapi package to this local source tree. Then you can test your 
patches by doing 'opam reinstall xapi'.
We're currently working on making xapi buildable from opam. Things are 
sort-of working, but they're changing rapidly, so expect breakages while 
working with the opam packages.
