[XeTeX] XeTeX 0.91 released

[Roger Hart]

Works perfectly on the files I tested! Many many thanks!!!

Also, one question, if I could. I don't know if it's something I didn't 
set up correctly, but I couldn't get characters in the CJK Unified 
Ideographs Ext. B to appear.  Is that a mistake on my part, and if not, 
is that easy to fix?

Again, my most sincere thanks for this truly wonderful improvement over 
current TeX solutions for non-European languages!!

Best,

Roger
