Yes please! I've been using such a script locally since linux-2.6-xen
has gone stale and it works very well, but I'd rather linux-2.6-xen
returned to life. I'll be happy to help maintain it (automatically
push changes to it and/or make sure the script keeps
working). Unfortunately for various reasons I can't host such a tree
myself, or I would've done so already.

Cheers,
Muli
