The new Usenix LaTeX-2e style files, completely rewritten from scratch.
Major new features include

- conform to latest USENIX publishing standards

- include four modes of publishing, to help take the paper though its stages
  from draft to camera-ready.

- designed to squeeze unnecessary white spaces that latex uses, so as to
  make the paper more readable and allow for more text to fit in few pages
  (while not making it appear too dense).

- includes annotation features to allow authors and readers to exchange
  information, to use as reminders, and more.

	an original template from which we've instantiated several other
	ps/pdf samples showing the template in the four different modes of
	operation.
