[PATCH] address@hidden' variables for `slides'

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

The patch below provides new variables allowing for a finer control over
the layout of the title page (for the `slides' package).  I kept the
default values as before.

There's one thing that surprises me: why does the first concatenation
symbol of address@hidden' get "eaten"?  I.e., the first `//' there always
disappears without producing any effect on the output.  Is it because
it's the first concatenation symbol of a galley (address@hidden' here)?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
