Minor change to tex-live.sty

[Arash Esbati]

Hi all,

after the comment to this post[1], I had a look at tex-live.sty and I'd
like to make a suggestion: Retire alltt.sty and use fancyvrb.sty to
define the environment, i.e.:

    \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{alltt}{Verbatim}{%
      commandchars=\\\{\}
    }

I think this is a drop-in replacement and doesn't even change the
spacing AFAICS from the result of this file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

\usepackage{fancyvrb,alltt}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{AllTt}{Verbatim}{%
  commandchars=\\\{\}
}

\def\Ucom#1{{\bfseries\ttfamily #1}}

I was also wondering how many tl-doc editors use Emacs with AUCTeX?  I
have a prototyp style for AUCTeX attached.  I'd appreciate any comment
on this file.   Maybe it can be added to TL or to AUCTeX itself?

Best, Arash
