Sorry for replying so many times, this is a big maybe, and possibly
it's too drastic, but after this changes xl and xend will not be
compatible anymore, so why don't we disable xend by default, and only
build xl?

When the new configure script is in, it will be trivial to select if
you want xl or xend, and only install one of those. Adding the option
--enable-xend should disable xl and only build and install xend
(printing a very big warning that xend is deprecated).
