* We now check for the ``changepage'' package first and use it if it's

available.  Otherwise we call back on the ``chngpage'' package.
* Changed \usepackage{setspace} to \RequirePackage{setspace}
* Added an optional vertical offset argument to \marginnote
* Fonts: We no longer use the deprecated ``palatino'' package -- only the
  ``mathpazo'' package.
* Fonts: We now automatically load the ``helvet'' package for a sans serif
  font, if it's available.
* Bug: Fixed a bug in the \maketitle command wherein it would globally reset
  the \parindent and \parskip values.
