Nice theory. However, trying to test the sample you provided earlier:

	mrburns:~/tex% ls
	z.tex
	mrburns:~/tex% xelatex z.tex
	This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)
	 %&-line parsing enabled.

	(/usr/share/texmf/tex/xelatex/euenc/lm/eu1lmr.fd))
	fontspec.cfg loaded.
	(/usr/share/texmf/tex/xelatex/fontspec/fontspec.cfg))
	No file z.aux.
	[1] (./z.aux) )
	(see the transcript file for additional information)

	Output file removed.
	Output written on z.pdf (1 page).
	Transcript written on z.log.
	mrburns:~/tex% ls
	z.aux  z.log  z.tex

So it claims it's written z.pdf, but it hasn't. Further, I thought
maybe it's just put it somewhere else. However, running find shows
that there's no z.pdf anywhere on the entire machine. It may work, but
it's not much use if it doesn't produce any output...
