Hi Will,

Just seeing this today. Nice!

Did you look at all the checks made by ifpdf.sty and ifvtex.sty, to  
make sure the package is loaded only once even if called several  
times by other packages, and to make sure the \ifpdf and \ifvtex  
switches return the correct value whatever version of pdfTeX and VTeX  
is running? In XeTeX, in particular, that would mean \ifxetex  
returning a correct value even when called on a version of XeTeX in  
which \XeTeXversion had not been introduced.

Do you think it would be worth wandering into the same level of  
complexity for XeTeX?
