Found it in Build/source/Work/texk/dvipdfm-x!
I recall seeing a dire warning not to build in the source tree but
I don't recall that an alternative was suggested. Why is there no
mention of the Work tree on
http://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html
or in any of the READMEs in Build/source? Is one expected to read
the Build script to find this information?
