[texhax] custom \listoffigures

[Philip TAYLOR]

No idea how \caption is defined, but if it really
/is/ \def \caption #1#2{...}, then some typing could
be saved, and consistency guaranteed, by the following :

	\def \Caption #1#2{\caption {#1}{#1 #2}}

and thereafter

	\Caption {First sentence}{Seconda sentence}
