/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/perl/lib: failure is 
probably OK, because it's the old location. Would be nicer with 'if -d 
... then remove tree'

The XeTeX i-Package now updates 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/fmtutil.cnf, but from the 
previous installation /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf 
(no update) already contains both formats, xetex and xelatex. 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/fmtutil.cnf gets updated to 
this:

	# XeTeX formats
	#! xetex                xetex           -               *xetex.ini
	xelatex         xetex           language.dat    *xelatex.ini

which is incorrect (as Jon Breitenbucher and I already mentioned). No 
new formats are built, no old formats get revomed!

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists.
If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
