I've fixed hscolour - from the newly release version 1.14 there is now
no difference between the -lit and -lit-tex options. Both will deal
with either style of literate input.

Hscolour-1.14 also makes this fix. If your source file name ends
in .lhs or .ly or .lx, it will be automatically processed with -lit.
You can override the guess, by using an explicit -nolit (or -lit) to
force the particular behaviour you want.
Another new change, is that you can now supply multiple filenames as
input, and their colourised contents will be concatenated to the output.
