A new LaTeX package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two.

Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it's run through latex. However, there are two limitations of these environments: They refuse to overwrite existing files, and they can be used only before the documentclass declaration. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere.
