(i've also added it to my preparations for a new version of the uk faq.) Potential users may view the catalogue entry at: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/changepage.html (when it's been created in the nightly run, between 0000 and 0100 gmt), the may view the file itself at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/changepage.sty (or corresponding addresses at the other main ctan sites, by now).
