[OS X TeX] xdvipdfmx with xelatex

[Philipp Mathey]

Thanks Gerben !

Before I go ahead and update :  could you clarify what someone like
me should do who has both the TeX i-package and the TeXLive i-package
and the Latex updater i-package installed :
I understand that I should
-ditch the Latex updater i-package,
- first uninstall both (?) the TeX i-package and the TeXLive i-package
  before installing the new version(s) ?

So it will then be possible to switch from one TeX distribution
to another by using the System Preferences panel ?!
What did you mean when you mentioned the TeXLive iso,
that , if I installed it, it could then also be accessed via the  
System preference
panel ?

Regarding paths : right now I have to add

(setenv "PATH" "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ 
local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current")

to my .emacs file. How should this be modified ?

Thanks for all your great work,

Philipp
