[OS X TeX] Experimental MacTeX Packages

[Scott Murman]

installing MacTex-additions deleted existing GUI binaries and  
installed nothing.
repeating the MacTex-additions (re-)installed the GUIs.

are there plans to incorporate xetex into the texlive distro, or as  
an additional package?  sorry if this has been hashed over, just  
point me to the discussion and i can catch up.
