RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] elilo compressed dom0 kernel support

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

Looks good.  Unless there is a commitment to have a binary
image somewhere "any day now", I think we should still leave
a binary in the xen hg tree.   I don't think we should require
Xen users to build a new version of elilo from source.

Is your binary OK for that?
