Now that the compilation of xdvipdfmx has been included inside that of  
xetex, and all the required libraries are provided, it's become  
straightforward to install an updated XeTeX on Mac OS X.

Prerequisite: you need Xcode. Then:

- Download a source tarball <http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/TRUNK.tar.gz 
 >, extract it. Say you have a folder ~/Downloads/TRUNK.

- Open Terminal and type:

	cd Downloads/TRUNK
	sh build-xetex
	sudo sh install-xetex

You're done: updated binaries have been installed inside /usr/texbin,  
updated packages and input files have been installed at various places  
inside /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, and all the required formats  
have been rebuilt. Beware: the compilation may take some time,  
depending on your system; it will exercise your CPUs and fans, most  
likely.

But yes, a precompiled binary would be nice!

Hope that helps,
