Surely this is somewhere that Python can be very useful! Support for
filesystem reading is available in C libraries, and munging a lot of C
interfaces together into a command-line tool is one of the things Python
does best.
In general I agree with your ideas; my own patches to XM and pygrub for
this were going along these lines, if not quite general enough. In the
long term though, in-domU support is going to be the best way of doing
this, specially for virtual hosting and "packaged" VM images.
