.xva is a format specifically for Citrix Xen.

There are tools to convert "classic" Xen VMs to "xva" files:
http://www.xen.org/files/xva/README

I would be willing to assist in getting this tool to work with your program. 
All I'd need is a copy of your program along with assistance from Pandu Poluan 
to test the resulting XVA files.

I do not run Citrix XenServer and have no need for it as Xen itself works fine 
for me.
