I asked at comp.text.tex for a way to parse a LaTeX package for the date without loading it -- it turned out to be far more complicated than I expected and even the most advanced solutions by Heiko Oberdieck are not working in any valid case. This is why I considered using kpsewhich for locating fontspec.sty and parsing it with Python. (A Python function calling kpsewhich can be found in the small file kpathsea.py from the "pybtex" project. On my Debian machine it's /usr/share/pyshared/pybtex/kpathsea.py) I can provide sample code if there is interest. Günter
