[XeTeX] geometry.sty FIX for XeTeX 0.994

Hello,

People have run into some unfortunate coding in the geometry package  
that assumes only pdfTeX uses the \pdfpagewidth command. This results  
in an error compiling a previous-working document.

Use the following to temporarily fix the problem until geometry is  
updated; note that it works whether the document is typeset using  
either the XeTeX or pdfTeX backends:

   \ifdefined\XeTeXversion
     \newcount\pdfoutput
     \pdfoutput0\relax
   \fi
   \usepackage[dvipdfm]{geometry}

(Actually, the [dvipdfm] option might not be necessary...not sure,  
really.)

Hope this helps,

Will
