\caption{\label{spec}Parameters of the spectral fits for the brightest point sources. 
Stated errors  correspond to the 90\%~confidence level. The global metallicity
was set to~$0.3~Z_{\odot}$, as appropriate for the LMC, for all sources except 
XMMU~J045534.9$-$661525 (source~\#~19), for which we adopt solar abundances since it 
corresponds to a foreground star. Absorbed fluxes are given in the spectral 
range $0.4{-}10$~keV and in units~10$^{-14}$~ergs~cm$^{-2}$~s$^{-1}$. The results 
correspond to a simultaneous fit of all EPIC spectra available. A constrained 
fit for XMMU~J045744.1$-$662741 is also listed below.}
