Aha, the Fedora package has a 'qemu-xen.tradonly.patch' which comments
out the addition of qemu-xen-dir to SUBDIRS-$(CONFIG_IOEMU) in
tools/Makefile. Will there have been a *reason* they did that, or if I
build one and put it in the right place should it JustWork™? The patch
arrived in the package in a large commit with the comment 'Update to
xen-4.2.0' and no further explanation.

So much for it being easier to use the distro's toolsets with minimal
modification... :)

I have to run now, but will be back and prod at this a little more
later.
