[tex-live] Problem with XeTeX's (and perhaps other binaries -- not investigated) handling of --output-directory

[David Carlisle]

Phil,

> E:\TeX\Projects\WBH\Welcome>xetex foo --output-directory=../dynamic-
content
> (./foo.tex This is the intended foo.tex )

isn't that just because the flags after the filename are ignored?

Personally I'd just add it to the end of the list of reasons never to use
--output-directory,
although that list is so long, it's hard to find the end:-)
