   I agree, I think the added build tool dependencies and login to pull
the tiano code base would preclude us from putting it into the main
tree.  Instead of putting the binary in the xen build tree, perhaps
'make install' could wget it from the efi-vfirmware.hg tree?  Something
like:

wget -O xenia64-gfw.bin 
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware.hg?raw-file/tip/binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin

Thanks,

        Alex
