[XeTeX] minor bug within XeLaTeX

[Michiel Kamermans]

Peter,

<<In the file's preamble there is a string like " XeTeX output 
YYYY.MM.DD:hhmm" (notice the leading blank) recorded. There is also a 
comment "/Producer(XeTeX <V.rsion>)." Hyperref does not overwrite these 
but enters a "/Creator(LaTeX with hyperref package)" comment which is 
copied by xdvipdfmx into its PDF output.>>

Of course, that " XeTeX output ..." information mostly describes the 
generation time, so that shouldn't be used for anything other than to 
perhaps extract generation time (if there is no dedicated "generation 
time" field reserved in the DVI specification. If there is, then that 
string should probably just need to be ignored in its entirety).

 From your description, what should actually happen seems to be that 
xdvipdfmx should put the string that it finds in the "/Producer" field 
in the DVI input into the "Creator" field for the PDF output, and 
concider hyperref's "Creator" comment just that - a comment. There are a 
couple of places where comments can go in PDF files, but as hyperref's 
comment doesn't change the identify of the generator, it's definitely 
not to be used in the PDF's "Creator" field.
