[XeTeX] Overfull boxes return status of 0 in XeTeX

[Zdenek Wagner]

Such a change will break a lot of build tools. If overful boxes were
reported as errors, the full build will be unsuccessful. In early stages of
devewlopment I am concerned with functionality of macros or wich
communication between several pieces of software, not with the beauty.
Overful boxes will stop me.
