On a side note, for those people interested in XeLaTeX but needing  
the ability to run pstricks: you may be interested to know that alpha  
support of pstricks is presently being tested in the XDV-to-PDF  
driver xdvipdfmx. See:

<http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-March/006073.html>

It's still for the adventurous soul only, as the installation is not  
straightforward and there seems to be incompatibilities left. See in  
particular:

<http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-March/006087.html>

In case some people may have had a "conflict of interest" between  
XeTeX and pstricks...
