theo8mc233:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/doc/xetex bvoisin$ ls -l
total 416
-rw-r--r--   1 bvoisin  admin  206289 Aug 13 18:42 XeTeX-reference.pdf
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     admin      19 Oct 11 09:56 xetexref.pdf ->  
XeTeX-reference.pdf

The difference in ownership is caused, I suppose, by the fact that I  
installed XeTeX via the Apple Installer's .pkg package, not via the i- 
Installer's .ii2 i-Package.
