\XeTeXpdffile <filename> [page <int>] [crop|media|bleed|trim|art]
  [scaled <int>|xscaled <int>|yscaled <int>
  |width <dimen>|height <dimen>
  |rotated <decimal>]*

The first two options are specific for PDF files (\XeTeXpdffile),
thus the syntax of \XeTeXpicfile is

\XeTeXpicfile <filename>
  [scaled <int>|xscaled <int>|yscaled <int>
  |width <dimen>|height <dimen>
  |rotated <decimal>]*

<filename> is the usual file name argument of \input, \openin, ...
It must not terminated by \relax if options are given.
<int> and <dimen> are the usual integer or dimen specifications
of vanilla TeX. However <decimal> is introduced by XeTeX and
needs more investigating.
