I've updated the xelatex-specific crop.cfg so that it no longer fakes  
a \pdfoutput (it simply forces the driver choice, instead of  
requesting it and then letting the package decide whether it's  
appropriate). This should have little risk of side-effects.

In geometry, this fails because the package tries to look at  
\pdfoutput when the actual document begins, after all packages are  
loaded.

More investigation needed....
