Margin kerning in Xe(La)TeX for TeXlive 2010: how to enable?

Is it possible to get microtype to work with XeLaTeX? Is there any other alternatives to that kind of tweaking? I really think that documents which have gone through microtypetweaking have superior aesthetics.

Update: After going here, which seems to have a beta version of microtype that works with XeTeX, and unzipping it to TEXMFLOCAL:

unzip -d `kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL` Microtype.zip

I still get the following error:

/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/microtype/microtype.sty

Package microtype Warning: You don't seem to be using pdftex.
(microtype)                `microtype' only works with pdftex.
(microtype)                Try running `pdflatex' instead of `xelatex'.

    Use the tds package when unpacking to a texmf tree. – Andrey Vihrov Jul 02 '11 at 19:02
  • @Andrey microtype does more than margin kerning, doesn't it? Wouldn't that mean that this wasn't a duplicate? – Seamus Jul 03 '11 at 12:49
  • @Seamus: That question ultimately asks the same thing, how to use microtype with XeLaTeX. Either way round, one of the two is a duplicate of another. – Andrey Vihrov Jul 03 '11 at 13:18

    @Andrey I think we should merge the questions rather than close this one, since this one has the more general title. – Seamus Jul 03 '11 at 19:58
