Hi Nicholas,
to add to the list of topics I just want to mention that perhaps it
may be beneficial to consider parts of the go bindings not go to libxl
at all. I have been digging through libxl for the past couple months
and it's asynchronous callback system is damn near impossible to
follow and I just can't shake the feeling that it would be a lot
easier to follow if it was in go. Not to mention the performance
issues with the built-in garbage collector and fork/exec parts. I'm
also interested only in a very small subset of what libxl does today
but I want to be able to that as fast as possible - domain creation -
which has many steps that could be done in parallel to speed it up..
and that would just be a natural thing to do in go.

Tamas
