In the new Xen 3.0.4 the use of /etc/xen for storing VM config files
is now pretty much just there for back compatability. If you're using
the existing 'xm create' then it'll still load from /etc/xen as per the
usual rules. With the new command 'xm new', where the config file is
kept is prety irrelevant, as once it is loaded, XenD will keep the master
config file in a private managed dir under /var/lib/xend/domains.
So I'm not sure that its worth extending 'xm' to add more flexibility
to let it look somewhere other than /etc/xen because that dir is not
really very relevant any more.

Dan.
