[XeTeX] i-Installer, XeTeX and Intel Mac

When using the i-Installer to install XeTeX on an Intel Mac (MacBook  
Pro) I got the following error:

   XeTeX cannot be configured because fmtutil has not been installed  
yet.

This is due to the paths used in the xetex.configure script.  The  
paths includes

   /bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

but this should be

   /bin/i386-apple-darwin-current

on an Intel Mac.  A workaround is to install both the ppc and i386  
binaries of TeX and put the .../bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current path  
last in your PATH.  xetex (and friends) installed here will work OK  
on an Intel Mac.
