Compiling xetex from the latest source (revision 709 -- I'm seeing  
that 39 seconds ago Jonathan created revision 710) and using xetex +  
xdvipdfmx yields the warning:

** WARNING ** Could not open config file "dvipdfmx.cfg".

Based on the above, I copied (for Mac OS X)

/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/dvipdfm/config/dvipdfmx.cfg

to

/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/dvipdfmx/config/dvipdfmx.cfg

and indeed the problem disappears.

Shouldn't this change be included in the source tree (namely patching  
TeXlive by providing dvipdfmx.cfg in dvipdfmx/config/ instead of  
dvipdfm/config/)?
