As much as I would love to Wikize this, I still don't really know what
I am doing :-D  Seriously tho, the xen-tools site just needs to inform
people which kernel binary stuff they need and where to get them / put
them.  The method I ended up using is not optimal, but, I now have no
need to find the "right" way cause I have the files I need and don't
need to get them again.

Ideally xen-tools would go grab the right files automatically and put
them in their proper place or a place the user can know where to find
them.
