thanks for the upload; i've installed it as suggested and made an entry
in the catalogue.
Interested viewers may look at my first stab at a catalogue entry for

xfor – A reimplementation of the LaTeX for-loop macro
The package redefines the LaTeX internal \@for macro so that the loop may be prematurely terminated. The action is akin to the C/Java break statement, except that the loop does not terminate until the end of the current iteration
