Hi all,

theoretically this should work, but in fact it does not quite. Due to an
unsolved dependency problem you have to repeat 'make xetex' two or three
times until nothing is rebuilt.  I'd love to understand the cause of this
(until now mysterious) behaviour.

However, as Karl has said there is no rush to rebuild the xetex binaries.
