LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents*
environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files
as it runs through LaTeX. However, there are two limitations of
these environments: they refuse to overwrite existing files, and
they can only be used in the preamble of a document. The
filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you
overwrite existing files and letting you use
filecontents/filecontents* anywhere.
