+A spot color is one that is printed with its own ink.
+Typically, printers use spot colors in the production
+of books or other printed material. The spotcolor package
+by Jens Elstner is a first attempt to introduce the use of
+spot colors with pdfLaTeX. The xespotcolor package is a
+reimplementation of this package so to be usable with
+XeLaTeX. As such, it has the same user interface and
+the same capabilities.
+
+Currently, xdvipdfm-x does not support the spot command,
+which is needed in order to be able top use commands like
+the following one:
+
+\definecolor{Spots}{spotcolor}{SOMECOLOR,1.0}
+
+File PATCHES contains patches that should be applied to the
+source code of xdvipdfm-x so to be able to deal with such
+commands. Also, file spotcolor-test.tex is test file based on
+the documentation of the original package. Finally, file
+spotcolor-test.pdf cannot be produced with a current TeX
+installation. When the source code of xdvipdfm-x will be
+updated, then the contents of this folder will change.
