[XeTeX] build from SVN sources

[Alex Hamann]

After running the build-xetex script I get fontspec.sty inside the  
build-directory/texmf/tex/xelatex/fontspec. But where would I find  
the executable xelatex?

Second question: is it a viable solution to just replace the old bin  
files with the newly build ones or is there a better way to install  
them (just as you would not replace the old fontspec.sty but rather  
place the new fontspec in a some texmf-place)

(sorry if my question should show little understanding of what is  
going on but I am doing my first steps in the world of svn checkout,  
compiling from source, etc.)
