[XeTeX] Clipping support for XeTeX

[Martin Scharrer]

Thanks. I will post it to the XeTeX list then. 
I agree with not including it into TeX Live '12 at this stage. Note that 'adjustbox' includes its own clipping drivers (but based on the same code) and therefore already allows to clip images or text with XeTeX.

Best Regards,
Martin
