Hi Hilmar,

as you did, i putted an updated version into my local texmf-tree, of 
course. The thing is... every update of tetex-extra destroys my update, 
as it puts the included old version of colortbl.* into the texmf-tree 
again and all is brocken again.

Either put the colortbl.* files out of tetex-extra, or put the latest 
version into it.

The function \cellcolor is broken in your delivered version, so this is 
a "packages don't work at all" and it would be helpfull, if you fix this 
bug not in release 3.0, but in next one.

Greetings and bye

Manuel
