Does this enable Xen statically for the resulting binaries or is it a
dynamic/boot time selection between Xen and native?

Also, does this require any code from Xen (libxc, minios etc) at build
time or is it completely standalone?

(I'm asking because I'm thinking "how to enable this in distro
packaging"...)
