yes please. i think it would be nice to assemble a blog post or set of 
instructions or something that describe the various ways of running xen in a 
development environment for mirage. (and deployment environments for that 
matter.)

(xen on virtualbox on osx is what i've tried to use in the past, but i was 
never happy that i really got the network configuration absolutely nailed down.)
