Sure, that's reasonable. I've just moved a bunch of stuff over to one  
of the xetex-only files, so the diffs on texmfmp.c will be cut down a  
bunch.

(Most of this goes back quite a while; it got written wherever it was  
convenient at the time, in terms of access to the right headers,  
etc., and hasn't been touched since. But it's no real problem to move  
some functions around, and it'll keep them out of the way.)

Fine; I'll tidy up a bit and come up with a fresh set of diffs in a  
while.
