[tex-live] missing "cid-x.map"

Dear list & author of xdvipdfmx,


XeLaTeX in TeX Live 2011 complains about

** WARNING ** Couldn't open font map file "cid-x.map".

I have
    /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfmx/cid-x.map
    /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/doc/latex/cjk/doc/pdfhowto/examples/cid-x.map
but only
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/cjk/doc/pdfhowto/examples/cid-x.map

Would it make sense to either reintroduce the map file or make sure
that xdvipdfmx doesn't complain about the missing file? I know that
the message is harmless (some people might need it when typesetting
under certain conditions; many of xetex users definitely don't), but
there will be many such reports in future if this is not taken care of
before release. (I created an empty file in ConTeXt minimals just to
get rid of the warning.)

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca
