Stubdom can be a starter. It would be trivial to teach Xen build system
to pull from a repo somewhere.  But then the released tarball will still
contain stubdom source code. I think most distros care about building
from tarball? If what you're thinking is to make stubdom able to do
standalone build so that it doesn't show up in final tarball or xen.git,
that would require a bit of work.

Can you clarify your use case?

Wei.
