By deprecating I didn't mean we would remove the functionality and introduce 
inconsistency between xend and xl in terms of usage.  I wasn't sure if we 
should stop with documenting the fact that it is deprecated or also display a 
warning message (in libxl) to that effect.  I would go with a warning also 
unless someone disapproves.
