Right now, xen-unstable doesn't build if you don't have Xlibs 
installed.  This is because of ioemu.  ioemu is not required to run Xen 
on a non-VT system.
We definitely need a smarter build system that can figure out "hey, I 
don't have xlib, so don't build ioemu."
autoconf does that for you.  I think the intention is just to 
autoconfize the tools/ directory.  You get all sorts of good things for 
free (cross-compilation support, separate build/src directories, etc.).
I think it's fair to not use tools we don't want (libtool, automake 
maybe) but it seems to make sense to at least use autoconf.
