[xen-tools-discuss] support for pvgrub?

[Jonathan Aquilina]

Its actually very easy to implement. you need a menu.lst in grub 1 format
and that is it the only thing that im not sure how you could automate with
xen tools is when a new kernel is released and when you pull the kernel for
that distro into  your new xen image how you would update the menu.lst. For
pvgrub you do not need the full grub legacy install.
