Hmmm, I'm not sure if kpsewhich is set up by default to return XeLaTeX
packages, but no matter. (I assume the "can't be found" error is
coming from an actual XeTeX compilation run, not just the output of
kpsewhich.) I'm afraid it's impossible for me (at a distance, at
least) to guess what the problem might be. Hopefully someone else has
a good idea... :)
