thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository.

ifetex – Provides \ifetex switch
The package provides the switch \ifetex which indicates whether e-TeX is available or not.
The package can be loaded as LaTeX package using \usepackage{ifetex} or in plain TeX using \input ifetex. In either case it aborts silently if the \ifetex macro is already defined.
The package’s test is whether \ε-TeXversion is defined as a primitive; if it is, the package assumes e-TeX features are available.
Please note, that ifetex is now part of iftex.
