+functionality of Dvips.  The colour stack deals with colour manipulations when
+asynchronous events (like page-breaking) occur.  For current releases of
+pdfTeX, this package is not needed, since real colour stacks are available.
+It has therefore become empty stub that does nothing at all, just in case
+there are still documents that reference it.")
