Name of contribution: a mexican dialect of spanish
Author's name: Luis Rivera

Summary description: language and configuration files to typeset spanish
in mexico
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed an unfortunate choice of filename: on some distributions, the
included spanish.cfg was automatically installed, thus becoming
automatically default; the file has been renamed to esmx.cfg, so you
have to create the spanish.cfg file, if not present, and type
`include esmx.cfg' explicitly into spanish.cfg to make the mexican
spanish default.
The README file has been updated accordingly.
With my apologies to all users affected.
