Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The code has been totally rewritten.

Improvements:
* You may now have as many counters and levels as you 
like (up to TeX's limitation)
* Several new parameters:
	- Hanging of the item text from its counter
	- Alignment of items with counters of different 
sizes
	- Progressive indentation of the list
	- Vertical space between items
	- Space between counters and items
	- Hidden counters, e.g. a) instead of 2.1.a)
	- Embedding of counters in a command
	- Zapf's Dingbats available to denote numbers
* Predefined styles
* Referring to item's with LaTeX's \label and \ref
* \NewList or \NewList(key=value...) to get rid of 
previous parameters and create new ones
* The keyval package is not required anymore
* The environment have been (somewhat sensibly) 
renamed 'easylist'
* Various modifications (the documentation have been 
revised accordingly)
