AFAIU, 20_linux_xen.in does:

while [ "x${xen_list}" != "x" ] ; do
    list="${linux_list}"
    current_xen=`version_find_latest $xen_list`
    [....]
    while [ "x$list" != "x" ] ; do
        linux=`version_find_latest $list`
        [...]
        list=`echo $list | tr ' ' '\n' | fgrep -vx "$linux" | tr '\n' ' '`
    done
    if [ x"$is_top_level" != xtrue ]; then
        echo '  }'
    fi
    xen_list=`echo $xen_list | tr ' ' '\n' | fgrep -vx "$current_xen" | tr '\n' 
' '`
done

Which adds yet another loop iterating on each item of "xen_list". For each of 
those,
there is an iteration on "linux_list".

I can do the change, like I can do the change for other OSes, but I don't have
the environment to test those changes. Would you be OK if I submit an untested
patch for someone else to try out ?

I notice that 10_hurd.in and 10_kfreebsd.in also have the exact same 
inefficient pattern.
Would you be OK if I also change them and let the change be tested by those who 
have
those environments ?

I just did, sorry for the delay, I missed his email because it was only
sent to the list.

Thanks,
