Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations
for network protocol specifications and anything else that
utilizes fields of data.  These illustrations show how the
bits and bytes are laid out in a packet or in memory.

Version 2.0 improves the user interface, albeit in a
non-backwards-compatible way.  The package now uses a
key=value interface to specify formatting parameters either
globally or local to an individual diagram; rows are now
grouped using a more LaTeX-like syntax; and there are more
opportunities for customizing the appearance of a diagram.
