OK, thanks for the clarification; so the determining of that path is
not completely unuseful, at least if one is installing over the
existing TL.

I appologise for the incompleteness; I meant single->double (patch
against rev. 503 is at the bottom).

I see; if I understand, that means that you want to be able to always
~just copy the source files from sil.org to tug.org -- the same sil.org
source should serve both for the building/installing of XeTeX-dev over
the existing TL installation and as a part of the development version
of TL itself.

Or, in other words, the building of source/ as it is in TL svn
repository -- with XeTeX-dev & libraries sources instead of ones that
are currently there -- should work with ->0 changes of configure/make
elements from sil.org repository.

OK, I'll try to do it...
