Hi,

(Please keep 635491@bugs.debian.org in the CC list when replying).

ucshyper.sty tries (buggily) to disable itself when (la)tex is not run
in PDF output mode. But ucshyper works like a charm when producing a
DVI meant for post-processing with dvipdfm (and hyperref loaded with
hdvipdfm driver). I have only tested it with pdf(la)tex running in DVI
output mode, but I expect "plain" (la)tex would work just as well.

Patch attached. Assumes e-tex (uses \ifdefined). I assume this is OK.
I disabled the loading of hyperref, so that the user can choose hir
hyperref driver freely; instead a call to \hypersetup{unicode=true},
and hence a requirement that ucshyper be loaded *after* hyperref.

What would be your thoughts about upgrading the warnings (or maybe one
of them) to errors?

ucshyper.sty is in directory Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ucs
