    Summary description: Display hexdumps in LaTeX with the help of TikZ

    Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Showing hexdumps is a common task in some fields. The most rudimentary
    form doing this in LaTeX is using a simple listings package.
    But often just showing the data is not enough. Instead, it needs
    to be annotated and explained.

    This package offers exactly this feature by drawing each byte as
    a TikZ node. Note that this package explicitly aims to also support
    hexdumps with larger addresses (thinking of 64-bit addresses/offsets) here.
