This seems to not be the case for Windows systems.

The page http://tug.org/texlive/build.html lists Akira Kakuto as the
builder for win32. Akira Kakuto apparently maintains
http://w32tex.org/. As of 2013 February 11, the newest file in that
repository is xetex-w32.tar.xz updated 2013 February 11 11:04am.
However, in the change log for 2013 February 11 it says
   (04) xetex-w32.tar.xz
  Update libpoppler (0.22.1).
  A bug in the unicode-math is not fixed, because the fixed one
  contains rather large differences and it is under discussion.

Khaled has stated that there is an issue with synctex now that
prevents Akira from building the very latest XeTeX.

So, maybe I need to keep the abraces solution on the table for now.

 Khaled already fixed the bug in the git repository. If you are willing

 get a working version now. It's just that there won't be any official
 binary release before TL 2013.

My statement that if you are willing to compile it yourself still
stands, but compiling on windows might be way more painful than
compiling on any other unix platform.

But then again: I don't remember many problems that Akira Kakuto
wasn't able to solve/crack within a very short time span. (I admire
his wizard skills when working with windows compilers.)

If someone as skilled and experienced as Akira is having that much of
a problem, it may take someone like myself with very little experience
in this type of skill a very very long time.

 But then again: I don't remember many problems that Akira Kakuto
 wasn't able to solve/crack within a very short time span. (I admire

This information about Akira is genuinely useful to me. I will wait
awhile a see what might come out of the pipe. In the event that
nothing comes out, I will only have myself to blame for waiting. If
something does come out (and from what you have said it is likely that
it will), then I have all that time to invest in other work.
