Ok, here we go. The patch is against changeset 22068:3c4c3d48a835
and is not ready yet though, it needs to also
fix build for tools/ocaml/libs/xl/xl_stubs.c.

The build fails with
xl_stubs.c:143: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer.

I think using libxl_uuid_from_string() should do it but I'm not familiar
with oxenstored.

I am not sure if the use of malloc() in libxl_uuid2string() is correct,
someone familiar with the garbage collector please fix it.

Due to the mentioned caveats, I don't acknowledge this patch.
Nonetheless, I am sending the patch out to not thwart Gianni to do his
development work.
I want to re-test another version of this patch.

Christoph
