We like the 'xm' CLI, in fact we are trying our best to provide a
compatible command line interface with 'xl'.
Ideally you'll be able to symlink xl to xm and everything will still
work. If you find any problem with command line incompatibilities please
let us know, and we'll fix them.

On the other hand if you are speaking about the XML-RPC interface
provided by xend, that is a totally different matter.
