I should've made it more clear that this was a warning, not an error,
when I rewrote the command line interface. You should be able to touch
vdstat.xml to make the warning go away, as xenctl's parser won't actually
care if the file is empty.

This is one feature that I might be interested in looking into, if I'm
not going to do XenoXP stuff.. it would probbaly help the XenoXP port
too since the windows kernel debugger doesn't work properly under Xen..
Once I get a moment I might look into how to approach this.
