There is an /etc/xl.conf but I don't believe it contains a setting for
the default vif script. It probably could/should though.

As a workaround I believe adding ",script=foo" to the vif entry might
work?

It looks like xl parses the ip option but that libxl doesn't do anything
with it.

I'll see if I can out a patch together for both of these issues shortly.
