First, Julien, your suggestion worked like a charm.
So here's what's happened tonight. I tried to build the tools directory
of my git repository. Although I used the sudo command in my virtual
ubuntu, I got a permission denied error 126 on xen_foreign.
Second, I tried to follow the protocol for submitting my patches. I
changed libxl_utils.c and libxl_utils.h, in my repository, add and
commit them. Unfortunately, I didn't include my signature (next page of
instructions I was following), and couldn't figure how to get back in to
add them.
Finally, I tried git send-email (took a bit to find I had to install
it). Now it doesn't like the format of my send-email:
to the devlopers list above and cc'ing Julien and Wei, followed by:
1. following this with the files (even with --no-format-patch), error
was "no subject line"
2. (different attempt) the repository "master" error complained about
the format patch
SO if anyone is up at an ungodly hour and can explain any of these
errors to me (I'm in Colorado - so it's 7:30 here), especially with a
fix, I'd be grateful. Otherwise, Julien, Wei, I'll start at about 7am
my time, maybe a little earlier.
Thanks.

Should I keep the libsdl-dev?
In the meantime, I'm following the git protocol for patches. I
successfully cloned xen.git. The next statement in the directions - I
can't tell if it's one statement on many lines, or many statements. It
starts out git branch -a
When I type this alone, I get "Not a git repository" When I type in the
many lines as a single command I get the error message:
origin/master no such file or directory
You have to type the command "git branch -a" in the git repository
(i.e the directory xen.git).
This comes from the line remotes/origin/HEAD->origin
?????
This is normal. The line starting by '$' is a command. Everything else
is an example output of the execution of the command.
Obviously, you have to drop the '$' when typing copying the command.
To go further, '$' means a command to execute with your current user
and '#' a command to execute with root privileges (i.e adding sudo
before).
This is usually a standard on Linux/BSD shell documentation.
Although, there is some place within this wiki page where the command
doesn't have '$'/'#' (see [1]). So you to judge yourself if the line
looks like a command or not :).
