Package makedtx:
Perl script to help generate dtx and ins files

The makedtx bundle is provided to help LaTeX2e developers to write the code and documentation in separate files, and then combine them into a single .dtx file for distribution. It automatically generates the character table, and also writes the associated installation (.ins) script.
