Very good, Bruno, I think you got everything (except that XeTeX isn't 
responsible for the xmltex link that your ls shows!)

Hans, I'd have thought that after a normal install, "which xetex" and 
"kpsewhich xetex.pool" should have located things for you, unless your 
default path doesn't find the tex binaries.

But anyhow, I've posted a .zip file with just the two binaries and the 
pool file, so you can get them that way if you prefer; see 
http://scripts.sil.org/xetex/.
