I see the point, but what would be the correct place? We have ifpdf.sty
in collection-latexrecommended which is also bad in the sense that it
can be used in generic tex documents as well.

I thought that it might make sense in:
- collection-xetex
	because it is only used there
- collection-base
	because it can be used in all the packages to check it

Maybe in fact both ifpdf.sty and ifxetex.sty should be moved to
collection-base ...

Jonathan, what is your opinion? As main xetex guru I guess you shoud
speak up for now?!

Best wishes

Norbert

Warm and very slightly clammy. Descriptive of the texture of your
hands after the automatic drying machine has turned itself off, just
damp enough to make it embarrassing if you have to shake hands with
someone immediately afterwards.
