Summary description: Macros and metrics for using Verdana with LaTeX

Announcement text:

'Verdana' is a common font. It is readily available on machines with a Microsoft
operating system and can be downloaded on non MS-machines (check the
documentation for this).
This wrapper provides a T1 encoded font.

more recent Verdana versions (v2008 and v2010).

CTAN is now holding biber 0.8.4 (we sort of mirror from sourceforge).

the mirroring process can't (entirely) be relied upon, so for the time
being at least, announcement messages will be generated manually, from
input from philip.
i have also updated the catalogue repository.
