[XeTeX] Strange issue with tanwin, arabxetex

[FC]

Dear Nathan,

When I had a look at ArabXeTeX last month (for the first time since 2010
when I gave it over to a new maintainer) I could not find anything that had
changed since the last version I released (which corresponds to
https://github.com/fc7/arabxetex/releases/tag/1.1.4). Therefore a build
issue where the teckit mapping may have been corrupted is more likely to be
the reason, because the source files - as far as I can judge - have not
changed since 2010 and thus probably not between TL 2014 and TL 2015.

Regards,
François
