I'm curious to know, would people like to be able to emerge several 
different versions of the kernel source trees side by side? I know it 
would be advantageous for myself, but I'm not entirely sure that it 
would be possible. As far as I can tell the kernel version is dependent 
on the xen version? Could one of the xen developers confirm this? 
Ideally, I'd like to be able to install version x.y.z of xen, and then 
install several different versions of the kernel tree using the same 
version of xen.
Any feedback would be welcome.

Scott.
