Hi Ritesh,

Should this really be an error? It's likely that for Xen 4.1, someone
might have three toolstacks installed at the same time: xm, xl, and
xapi. It seems that they should have the option to switch between the
three without causing an error in the init scripts of the other two.

In this case, do we really want to return an error here?
