I didn't actually start from the tarball but instead took their git tree and found the place that the Xen tree really started from (there were a few patches that said they were copied from CVS) and applied the Xen patches on top. If anyone's interested they are more than welcome to copy this to xenbits. If there's interest I can add a top level 'makefile' (purposefully lowercase) that grabs mini-os and builds it.
