TeX distributions like MikTeX
and TeX Live can decide whether the patterns for non-Western languages
that are only usable with xetex or luatex should be commented out by
default or not.
I wish we weren't going down this road of non-universally-usable
patterns at all, but maybe there's no good alternative.
Anyway, in general, the TL developers like me can't possibly guess
whether pattern foobar is only usable with xetex/luatex or not, so
saying "TeX Live can decide" isn't practical.
So let's figure out a way to mark the non-pdftex patterns so that we
(TL) have the necessary information to create a per-engine language.dat
if we go that way. Putting them in a separate directory is what comes
to my mind.
Wdyt?
