Sorry for the late reply.

I'm not entirely sure either, I pretty much just blindly followed the
instructions on the FAQ.  I don't think this is at all the minimum you need
to get xelatex working, it also sets up a few other things.  For instance
it used latexmk instead of just recompiling a few times.  Perhaps the FAQ
should be split up into a few different questions:
1. minimum setup for XeLaTeX, something similar to your setup
2. how to use latexmk

Cheers,
Chris
