Salaam Abdurrahman,

IIRC it is part of the "documentation and sample files" contained in 
XeTeX_doc.zip which you can download from the XeTeX homepage: 
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=xetex_doc_094&filename=XeTeX_doc.zip

Enjoy XeTeX and don't hesitate to use this mailing list if you have 
further questions or problems.
