I'm not sure but I don't think libxenstat changes very often, however AFAIK 
it's not guaranteed to stay stable either...

If you can do so then it might be a good idea; this would presumably make it 
easier to do remote access as well.

You could also consider using RedHat's libvirt which attempts to provide a 
virtualiser-agnostic tool (e.g. Qemu / KVM may be supported at some point in 
the future).
