Okay, I guess something in the FAQ about how to install xen-tools on
Centos5 for Debian domU would be good that covers this. I can draft
this if you'd like, although I've posted everything that I did.

I have another Centos5 machine that hasn't got anything xen-tools
related installed on it yet, so if you have another way of doing
things for me to test, I can try that out.

The alternative would be to change /usr/lib/xen-tools/etch.d is from a
symlink to /usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d into its own set of files, and
have 55-create-dev apt-get udev. I'm not aware of the problems
associated with udev, though.
