 As far as I know these patterns do not produce wrong hyphen points in Spanish
 words, but I would appreciate if someone can extensively test them.

 Notes:
 1- This package implements the  RAE1999 rules. End-of-line word splitting
    is different from syllabic splitting.  The patterns are based on phonetic
    rules that depend on the word structure. The optional semantic rules
    (compound words, prefixes) and  style considerations (to avoid bad words)
    are disregarded.
 2- Groups of vowels, including mbeded "h", are not split.
 3- A hyphen is never put in front of an "h" except for the patterns "hue"
    and "hie".
 4- Isolated letters at the beginning or at the end of the word are avoided.
 5- Many Spaniards say "at-le-ta", but most Spanish-Americans
    say "a-tle-ta". Both hyphenations are accepted. We take the second one. 
 6- Some exceptions for the prefix "sub" are included.
 7- The patterns work with lefthyphenmin=1 and righthyphenmin=1, but the
    result is the same than setting both parameters equal to 2.
 8- The package works also with encodings ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15 and UTF-8.
 9- In order to activate the T1 letters the following commands should appear
    before the text.

\catcode`\^^e1=11 \lccode`\^^e1=`\^^e1 % 'a
\catcode`\^^e9=11 \lccode`\^^e9=`\^^e9 % 'e
