[XeTeX] Where download Vanilla XeTeX

[Vasile Gaburici]

The svn version of XeTeX will overwrite your installed XeTeX. You need
to edit the install-xetex script to prevent this, e.g.:

--- install-xetex~	2008-08-07 18:46:31.000000000 +0300
+++ install-xetex	2008-08-07 18:50:04.000000000 +0300

 	texbin=`readlink ${texbin}`
 	echo "### TeX binary (${texbin}) seems to be symlinked."
 fi
-texbindir=`dirname ${texbin}`
+texbindir=/usr/local/bin #`dirname ${texbin}`
 echo "### TeX bin directory = ${texbindir}"

 # copy the xetex binary to the same dir as standard tex
