I think heavy patching would be involved. The ocaml 'xapi toolstack' currently 
depends
on qemu-xen-3.4 and xen-3.4, both with patchqueues. I'd be much easier to use 
the
complete set of bits:

They're different: those source isos are for the OSS components of a previous 
release of XenServer, from before the open-sourcing of the ocaml toolchain. 
They'll
have all the dom0, xen, qemu bits on there but they'll be missing 
xapi/xenstore/xe.
Future versions of XenServer will be based on the OSS ocaml toolchain and their
source isos will include all the ocaml stuff ISYWIM.

Cheers,
Dave
