[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] tools: add configure --with-dumpdir=DIR option

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

The current base directory /var/xen for domU dumps will be patched to
/var/lib/xen by most distros. Provide a configure option to avoid
patching the source.

If the option is not specified the default remains /var/xen/dump.

Please rerun autogen.sh after applying this patch.
