Announcement text:

Don't forget to read the README on installing
xkeyval in a (La)TeX distribution.

2)  Added \define at cmdkey (command keys)
3)  Changed xkvltxp.tex to xkvltxp.sty
4)  Namechange: \XKV at ifku to \key at ifundefined
5)  Simplified both the value saving and the
    pointer mechanism
6)  Improved coding at several places
7)  Package now uses eTeX if available
8)  Removed optional existence checking from
    \define at key and friends
9)  \presetkeys: made incremental
10) \XKV at makepf: protects internal macros.
11) Introduced optional global saving of macros
    produced by \savekeys and \presetkeys.
12) Added notation to \savekeys and \savevalue
    to instruct xkeyval to save values globally.
