[PATCH] Allow xenstore dependency to be removed
This patch lets you compile vhostmd without xenstore support in the main daemon. Our use-case is for platforms where Xen isn't available. The default is the same as currently - ie. xenstore is compiled in. To disable xenstore, the packager would compile with: ./configure --without-xenstore (this also disables xenstore in the domU tool as before).

I was about to suggest that we disable xenstore support by default, but then user can't select a transport at runtime when running on a platform that supports multiple. ACK.

Yes, I agree, I think it's better to leave it enabled. We will disable it only on Fedora platforms that don't support Xen.
