This little script is used by the xendomains init script. It gets a filename of
a domU guest config file as argument and uses xen create --dryrun to parse the
config file and extract the domU name from it.
Note that there is no proper error handling. So, if a user symlinks something
else than a correctly formatted domU config file into /etc/xen/auto (or a
different path configured to use, of course) then this will just do ugly things
and explode.
