Hi, 

I really like the following feature of pdftex and others for development 
purposes: 

  \input{|"darcs changes -s"} % print a detailed log of changes

and include that into my document as a "running log" for other reviewers. 

Sure, it requires --shell-escape and --enable-write18, but thats just fine in 
my environment.

xelatex does not seem to understand this line and prints "! LaTeX Error: File 
`|"darcs changes -s".tex'" instead. Is there any way of making xelatex to 
behave like pdflatex in that respect? Or at least another, convenient way to do 
this? Sure, I could use \write18 and read the results back in, but that always 
makes me cringe.

Regards,
Florian Gilcher
