Why do you want to have ioemu separately? It's part of xen tools
and useless on its own. That's my understanding at least.

I attached a new version of xen_build_ioemu.diff which sets PREFIX
to /usr if empty - the default prefix it uses now.

Keir: Please apply attached xen_ioemu_prefix.diff to the xen tree.
Both patches combined let xen-setup work in both modes:
entangled in xen build system and separate as requested by
Ian.
