package xstring update
version v1.4   2008/11/04

This package does not require LaTeX (but eTeX is required).
Consequently, the xstring.tex file should be installed in
the tex/ subtree.

===========
Changes
===========
* from this version, arguments can be (La)TeX code, i.e chars,
  control sequences, groups between braces, and tokens with
  other catcodes (excepted catcode 6 and 14).
  New code for almost all macros.
* New expansion mode : \expandarg
  The first token of each argument is expanded one time, then
  the macro is called.
* many corrections in the manual.
