Summary description: Create correct hyperlinks for DOI numbers.
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org.  However, some publishers 
have elected to use nasty characters in their DOI numbering scheme 
(‘<’, ‘>’, ‘_’ and ‘;’ have all been spotted).  This will either upset 
(La)TeX, or your PDF reader.  This package contains a single user-level 
command \doi{}, which takes a DOI number, and creates a correct 
hyperlink from it.

This is an update to the doi package. The underscore was missing 
from the list of characters that could mess things up. Michael Orlov 
sent in a patch to fix this (thanks!).
