Good news!
So I tried it by adding \usepackage[verbose]{microtype}
to a document I had.
Well, it failed (`microtype' only works with pdftex.), so I went there:

<http://xetex.tk/mediawiki/index.php/Pre-built_binaries_for_xetex_with_support_for_margin_kerning>
and saw there were no binaries built on Intel, and for once I saw something I could do for the community! Build it on my machine and share it.
Well, I only got so far:
Baal:microtype-xetex cyril$ svn co http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/BRANCHES/microtype/
svn: Repository moved permanently to '/svn-view/xetex/BRANCHES/microtype/'; please relocate

Since the URL are the same, I don't know what I'm supposed to do to checkout, and the fine manual did not help nor dig google.
