This is now in the unstable tree, in a somewhat incomplete state.
When you use xc_dom_create.py it will print a TCP port that you can
telnet to to get console I/O.

e.g., from DOM0, the output from the first domain that you create will
be available via:
 telnet localhost 9600

I'm working on rewriting the DOM0 daemon that controls th console --
after this you will be able to choose which port a given domain's
console output appears via.
