Haven't tested that, though.
Does it make sense to include Xen in the default list? I don't know much about Xen but I was under the impression that it's a special purpose thing that you can only use as part of a Xen setup, whereas tcg, kvm, hax are all more-or-less interchangeable ways to run a VM under a Linux/etc host. Do I have the wrong end of the Xen stick? thanks -- PMM
