[XeTeX] SPOTCOLOR in XeTeX

[Nicolas Vaughan]

The problem with spotcolor.sty is that it requires the pdftex driver for the
graphics package --- which doesn't work in XeLaTeX.
I tried to change spotcolor.sty to load the xetex driver, but I got a clash
option.
Perhaps someone can explain me why that happens.... ?

Cheers!

Nicolás
