The first thing both do is set the pointer in the third param to NULL. 
If the conf setting specified by the second param does not exist or is
empty, both will return success.  The only difference is
xenXMConfigGetString will set the pointer in the third param to the
value provided in the fourth param.  Oh, and xenXMConfigGetString
doesn't alloc any memory, so no need to free 'extra' and 'root'.

Nod, I think it is fine after removing the gnulib hunk.  I tested with
the old Xen driver too.

BTW, if <cmdline> contains root=, I noticed that domxml-to-native will
put it in extra= instead of creating a root= entry.  E.g.
<cmdline>root=/dev/bla foo=bar</cmdline> converts to
extra="root=/dev/bla foo=bar", which is still valid config so perhaps
not such a big deal.
