thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/ifetex.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ifetex/

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
