[XeTeX] Building on Intel Mac

[Jon Breitenbucher]

Bruno,

The problem I have is that the build-xetex is failing with

./build-xetex: line 30: cd: Work/texk/web2c: No such file or directory
./build-xetex: line 35: cd: Work/texk/xdv2pdf: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/web2c/xetex: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/xdv2pdf/T1Wrap: No such file or directory
ls: Work/texk/xdv2pdf/xdv2pdf: No such file or directory

For some reason the script is not creating the directories??
