Bug#443515: context: Broken typescripts

[Thanasis Kinias <tkinias@kinias.org>]

Package: context
Version: 2007.04.17-1
Severity: important

Most typescripts do not work with XeTeX since v2007.01.[something].
This means that existing XeTeX documents cannot be processed without
major reworking.

This is a known issue upstream; see ConTeXt mailing list message
`[NTG-context] warning: XeTeX & broken typescripts (please wait with
upgrading)' <http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/024497.html>,
dated 2007-03-26.

This is not yet totally fixed upstream (major work is being done on
LuaTeX font support, which will then be backported to XeTeX/ConTeXt),
but a hack to type-xtx.tex gets some functionality back in recent
versions.
