%% columncv.cls
%%
%% Package to typeset a cv, using two colmns. The left one contains
%% the labels and the right one the descriptions. These should be 
%% contained within an environment defined by \begin{cvenv} ... 
%% \end{cvenv}. This environment takes an optional parameter which
%% specifies the separator to be used between the columns. By default,
%% this is none, but [|] may be specified. If any other character needs 
%% to be used, it must be specified as [!{decl.}] -- this is due to the 
%% implementation of the array package used in this package.  Labels and 
%% entries are defined by using \cvitem{}{}. Sections are defined by 
%% using the sectioning environments. The CV title is created with 
%% \makecvtitle.
%%
%% Lengths specific to this package that can be redefined:
%%  \implevel  importance threshold -- al entries with value less and
%%             equal to this will be inserted into document
%%  \cvsecsep  vertical space between sections
%%  \cvitemsep vertical space between entries within an environment
%%  \lcolwidth width of the left column as a percentage of \textwidth
%%  \rcolwidth width of the right column as a percentage of \textwidth
