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