[XeTeX] XeTeX 0.9999.0 released

[George N. White III]

On RHEL 5.9, TLContrib packages don't work:

xetex: symbol lookup error: xetex: undefined symbol: _ZGVNSt7collateIwE2idE
luatex: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by luatex)
luatex: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by
luatex)

RHEL 5 (GLIBC 2.5) dates from 2005 and was expected to be in service 5
years but is still widely used (7 is the new 5).  RHEL 5 can't readily
build the new xetex as the tools are too old, but it looks like RHEL 6 (due
to replace RHEL 5 "real soon now" at many "7 is 5" sites) has GLIBC 2.12,
so if the TLcontrib packages are a guide, should support TL2013:
