On Sat, 1 Jan 2005, Hendri Adriaens uploaded updates to his packages
xkeyval and extract
------------------------------------------------------------
xkeyval is an extension of the the keyval package and offers additional
macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package
options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the
name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key
definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define
their own sets of keys.

License: lppl
Changes:
1) Simplified some code for speed.
2) Updated the license info.
3) restructured package, changed a name of an internal file
4) pointer replacement macros have been updated in order to
avoid capacity problems when pointers are nested deeply.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The package extract provides the means to extract specific content from a
source document and write that to a target document. One could, for
instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes and
generate an exercises book on the fly.
