Changes in autoinst:
- worked around a bug in Perl on Windows that would cause autoinst to hang
- the -target option may interfere with kpathsea/texhash and updmap,
so using it now implies -noupdmap as well
- replaced 'ssub' calls in generated fd files by 'alias'
(based on code by Frank Mittelbach).
- fixed two minor bugs in the font info parsing

Romano Giannetti submitted the
xkcdcolors
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: xkcd names of colors
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the year 2010, Randall Munroe posted a really fun and nice article on
the iconic web of xkcd. He did a very curious experiment: showing
colors to a lot of people and asking to name each one.
Afterward, he processed the data and sorted the names for each color by
popularity --- that means, how many people gave the same name to the
same color (no guidance here! Read the post linked above for details).
He obtained a nice list of around 950 color names. It's not at all
surprising that a lot of people forged CloudyBlue, but some color is
really surprising, like for example BabyPoopGreen or DullPink...
Now you can use them in LaTeX!
