[tex-live] Repeated request: correct entries for xmltex in fmtutil.cnf (and for jadetex too)

I tried these:

> xmltex  etex    -       xmltex.ini
> pdfxmltex       pdfetex -       xmltex.ini
> jadetex elatex  -       jadetex.ini
> pdfjadetex      pdfelatex       -       jadetex.ini

xmltex seems to work (it compiles and dumps), but jadetex says:

> [dumbledore:~] root# fmtutil --byfmt jadetex
> running `elatex -ini   -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex jadetex.ini' 
> ...

I do not use either of these myself, but I have gotten requests to 
include these in my dist, so I am looking in to it.
