[Enrico Franconi]

This is just a reminder about the many useful latex related packages
that you can easily install using fink. The recent exchange we had
about detex, proved me that using fink is really easy for
I-dont-want-to-know-what-Unix-is people.  The following is just a list
of packages available from fink, which relate diectly to
