[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1] tools: remove empty xl.conf

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the near future all fresh installations will have an empty /etc.
The content of this directory will not be controlled by the package
manager anymore. One of the reasons for this move is to make snapshots
more robust.

Installing empty configuration files is not helpful for an empty /etc
directory. The expected values are all described in xl.conf(5). There is
no need to duplicate this info into another file.

If the local admin really needs to tweak the defaults he will be able to
create this file with the desired content.
