At least there are start, stop, restart, reload and other functions
defined (see xen/xend/server/SrvDaemon.py).

Not that they'd really work for me, but maybe the xend rc.d script
should not only use that `start' function, but also `stop', `restart'
and `reload' (see attached patch)?  This way `stop' would at least take
a finite amount of time... ;-)

Ok, thanks.  I just rebuilt xen{kernel,tools}33 using pkgsrc HEAD and it
pulled in textproc/expat.

Indeed.
