I think we should _allow_ the user to specify the complete path to a
script, but not require them to.  Your existing patch 1/2 doesn't do
that.

How about something like:

-    flexarray_append(back, nic->script);
+    flexarray_append(back, nic->script[0]=='/' ? nic->script :
+     libxl__sprintf(&gc, "%s/%s", libxl_xen_script_dir_path(), nic->script));

?

I didn't realise you intended it for 4.1, but I think this is an
important enough compatibility problem that we should fix it along the
lines I suggest above.
