[XeTeX] Minimal files needed for XeLaTeX package to run on Windows

[Lillie Bennett]

I would stay away from MikTeX as it renames most of the core programs to 
fit it's nice window control system.

WinTeX would be my choice. I just make a full installation then create a 
separate directory to hold the trimmed down system. Copy the main 
programs over and run them to locate the dependencies. Copy the 
dependencies other packages and repeat. It's a tedious process but 
eventually works and not as hard to keep updated. I just use plain TeX 
so LaTeX will be much more difficult.
