matts-utils contribution on cambridge.apple.com

[cornell@unix1.cs.umass.edu (Matthew Cornell)]

I have uploaded two files to the /pub/MCL2/contrib directory on
cambridge.apple.com. The upload consists of a Bin-Hex'd,
self-extracting CompactPro archive (matts-utils.sea.hqx) and a readme
file (matts-utils-readme.text) which I've included at this message's
end. This single contribution has replaced the individual files I've
uploaded in the past. All files should work with MCL 2.0 final. Most
of the files include bug fixes and enhancements.
