This is what I was after. Forget what I said about uninstalling Miktex. As far 
as I can see Miktex supports both pdflatex and xelatex. This means Miketex can 
stay as is.

However since you are using the frozen GNUmed you cannot easily do the change 
mentioned above.

As soon as you can confirm that the usual suspects in GNUmed work as expected 
with xelatex I will do the change for you and ship an updated frozen GNUmed. 
Sounds like Karsten is doing some tests as well. 

GNUmed will produce the tex file when trying to compile it. So you can 
potentially find the temporary tex file and compile it with xetex manually to 
verify everything works as expected.
