Hi folks

I propose the following changes for 3.1:
- Rename source to xen-3. Upstream stripped one part of the version, so
  the next should be 3.2.
- pygrub as extra package.
- Rename i386 to i386-nonpae
- Rename i386-pae to i386. PAE is upstream default now and pae images
  works with a 64bit hypervisor.

We should think about supporting libvirt. It provides an AFAIK stable
interface on the unstable libxen interfaces. Maybe something like the
following will work:
- Add libxen-X.
- Build a libvirt against each of them.
- Set the directory with this lib in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xen-common if xen
  is running.
Or we drop the support to have more than one sort of utils installed.
