I already did a patch to do it time ago in three different ways but all 
rejected :(
A one reason was the lack of needed libraries on many distros versions 
used with xen.
Now all newer versions have the needed spice and usbredir libraries 
included, so if you would like reconsider the path please point me in 
the right direction in order to have this done correctly.
The three way I did were:
- enabled by default
- Added optional build configs for qemu upstream (debug part now no more 
needed because already present) 
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-03/msg00506.html
- Autoconf: add variable for pass arbitrary options to qemu upstream 
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-03/msg01677.html
Probably there are also newer versions of these patches that I not found 
anymore.
Thanks for any reply.
