Typeset crossword puzzles

An extended crossword puzzle package: can typeset grids with holes in them (for advertisements, or other sorts of stuff), and can deal with several sorts of puzzle:

– The classical puzzle contains numbers for the words and clues for the words to be filled in.
– The numbered puzzle contains numbers in each cell where identical numbers represent identical letters. The goal is to find out which number corresponds to which letter.
– The fill-in type of puzzle consists of a grid and a list of words. The goal is to place all words in the grid.

Input to the package is somewhat redundant: specification of the grid is separate from specification of the clues (if they're necessary). The author considers this style both ‘natural’ and robust.
