[XeTeX] How to use the XeTeX in subversion trunk ?

[Lingyun Yang]

Hi,

   Thanks for sharing your experience, I have checked this page, and find it
very useful.
However, I didn't find any notes about installing it in **my own Home
directory** by setting
proper TEXMFLOCAL, etc. The XeTeX trees are installed in my *HOME/texmf*,
but the binaries
are not copied into /usr/bin, due to my write permission on that directory.
