[XeTeX] Thanks

[Hans van Maanen]

Hi --

This is probably more LaTex than XeTex, but I have no one else to turn  
to... I've redefined my footnotes like so:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{\noindent{\@thefnmark.~~}#1}
\makeatother

That is, just a normalsize number, a period and two spaces. Now I want  
my \thanks to be formatted similarly. Is there a quick way to do this,  
too? I've searched the web, looked at Titling, but could not find  
anything!

Thanks,

-- Hans
