Yes, those are the tools I was referring to.

OK, this is not the tools I was referring to. Sadly someone decided to
create a completely different application that's used for provisioning vm
images, and decided to name it xen-tools. This is not mandatory in order to
run a Xen Dom0.

No.

So, the "xen-tools" package does not provide all of the tools that are
necessary.  It provides xl/xm, so what else is necessary?

OK, not top-posting.  Using a mail tool that puts replies at the top.
