You can find the source code of Will Robertson's XeTeX reference
guide in <762E632F-E255-4BC5-9894-C768312E052E at gmail.com> (posted at
3. July 2006 in this list). There's no other option than the one for
the documentclass: 12pt.

Searching for "driver" in xetexref.log results in:

chris at lotus:/tmp$ grep -ni driver xetexref.log
79:Package graphics Info: Driver file: dvips.def on input line 90.
82:File: dvips.def 1999/02/16 v3.0i Driver-dependant file (DPC,SPQR)
181:*hyperref using default driver hdvips*
183:File: hdvips.def 2003/11/30 v6.74m Hyperref driver for dvips

I updated my hyperref installation because my old installation
didn't know the dvipdfmx driver. But now I find that XeTeX searches
the wrong path:

chris at lotus:/tmp$ grep -i hyperref.cfg xetexref.log
(/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.cfg
File: hyperref.cfg 2002/06/06 v1.2 hyperref configuration of TeXLive
and teTeX
chris at lotus:/tmp$ kpsewhich hyperref.cfg
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/xelatex/hyperref.cfg
chris at lotus:/tmp$ head -2 `kpsewhich hyperref.cfg`
\ProvidesFile{hyperref.cfg}%
  [2006/06/07 v1.2b hyperref configuration of XeTeX]

Best,
  Christoph
