Hi Geoff, thanks for your interest.

Short answer: no

Long answer: bundling the xenserver/vmware/hyperv tools and dependencies would 
probably increase the size of this template many times, to a point it may 
actually be worth using a minimal CentOS or Debian installation.

Additionally because Macchinina is built from sources (buildroot) and has no 
package management or even glibc for that matter, I doubt the binaries shipped 
by Citrix would work.

It's real shame XS can't perform live migrations without VM tools.. :(
