`rst2latex` writes a LaTeX source file with package selection and
configuration for 8-bit TeX engines with 8-bit TeX-encoded fonts.

`rst2xetex` writes a LaTeX source file with package selection and
configuration for Unicode-aware TeX engines with Unicode-encoded fonts.

Despite of the name, `rst2xetex` it is for use

* with LaTeX
* with both, XeTeX and LuaTeX

i.e. the generated source can be compiled with one of the commands
`xelatex` or `lualatex`. 

A better name for the "xelatex writer" and the rst2xetex.py wrapper
script is welcome.

As both, the LuaTeX engine as well as packages for Unicode-aware TeX engines
are "moving targets", it may be that some of the generated settings are
outdated or unfortunate when used with up-to-date TeX distributions.
Please report any problems and suggestions.
