Is there a good place to get pyrexc from? I couldn't obviously spot an
RPM in FC2 or FC3.

I've built the C stuff and will look through it. There are a bunch of
semantic changes we want to make to the dom0 op interface (SMP and misc
cleanups, finer grained access control etc), but it might make sense to
integrate your stuff first.

Do you reckon you could get xend and friends building against the pyrex
wrapped libraries?
