Description
xcengine's functionality has grown significantly since the initial version and the CLI command structure is starting to look like a poor fit. It probably needs a redesign -- not yet, but when the functionality has stabilized a bit more.
Current considerations:
xcetoolshould perhaps be renamed toxcengine.- Top-level subcommands
buildandrunwould make more sense than the currentimageandmake-script.- Promote
buildandrunfromimagesubcommands to top-level subcommands. - Distribute current
make-scriptfunctionality among the newbuildandrunsubcommands.
- Promote
These considerations may change as functionality evolves.

Research direction
Start by documenting the current xcetool command structure, especially the image and make-script entry points and their build and run subcommands. Review the related discussion in #43 before proposing a stable command design; this issue is complete only when the redesign scope and resulting command structure are agreed.
