Looks great to me.

I have examined and tested the four style files and found just two small 
glitches.

In `brazilian.el' there's a typo at:

;; Cater for some specialities of Brazilian and Portugues languages
                                               ^^^^^^^^^
Which should read "Portuguese".

In `portuges.el' we are calling the file onto itself, we should be using 
`(TeX-run-style-hooks "portuguese")' instead.

With that in hand, from my side, we are good to go.

Well, this is curious.  My inner ear said it was `guillemets', but I 
don't recall the last time I had to write this one, so I was not sure, 
and I looked around.  Just to find in the source of `babel', which I was 
checking:

\declare@shorthand{portuges}{"<}{%
 \textormath{\guillemotleft}{\mbox{\guillemotleft}}}
\declare@shorthand{portuges}{">}{%
 \textormath{\guillemotright}{\mbox{\guillemotright}}}

So I figured I must have been wrong.  Since the spellchecker did not 
correct me (given the bird...), I went along.  Thanks for not letting me 
linger on the mistake.  ;-)


And thank you very much for all the work with the style files!

Best,
Gustavo.
