I don't understand. In what way is it special? To me it looks just like any other "header" file and could easily be a chunk in some other latex-related file. It seems to me the only peculiarity here is with the latex command as reported by Waldek: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07222.html that when given the command: \usepackage{axiom} by default looks for axiom.sty.tex in the current directory even though the common practice is to name the file axiom.sty and to locate it in the shared texmf file tree. To me this is strange and unexpected. I cannot find this behaviour documented anywhere on the web. So it looks like a bug in tex to me. Changing axiom.sty.pamphlet to axiom-sty.pamphlet and added a chunk named <<asxiom.sty>>= still seems like the right thing to do to avoid this "bug". I one sentence explanation in the pamphlet file should be enough documentation for such a simple change that is otherwise consistent with the rest of the Axiom source code.
