Ahh. Not an unusual approach, but resolving the compilation dependencies 
sounds quite painful.
Do not use telnet. Spending all that work on security, then using 
telnet, is like picking a 37-character mixed case password and then 
taping it to your monitor because you can't remember it: it rather 
defeats the purpose.
It may be possible to compile, then rip out the X installation over the 
objections of the Xen dependencies. Have you tried that?
