wheretotrim
package.
Summary description: Help reduce page count by suggesting where to trim text
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
wheretotrim is a Perl script and auxiliary LaTeX package
that helps LaTeX users reduce their document's page count.
It is intended to be used with documents that exceed a
publisher's specified page-length limitation by a small
amount (much less than a full column or page). wheretotrim
reports the page and column on which the least amount of
text needs to be trimmed to reduce the page count. It works
by repeatedly rebuilding the given document, analyzing the
benefit of trimming from each column or page one line of
text, then two, then three, and so forth until the
document's page count decreases.
wheretotrim has been tested only on Linux. It might work on
OS X. It probably won't work on Windows.

Walter Daems submitted an update to the
exsol
package.
Summary description: The package facilitates typesetting exercises and solutions from one LaTeX source to a separate solutions book.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The exsol package provides macros to allow for embedding exercises and solutions
in the LaTeX source of an instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text)
while generating the following separate documents:
- your original text that only contains the exercises, and
- a solution book that only contains the solutions to the exercises (a package option exists to also copy the exercises themselves to the solution book).
The former is generated when running LaTeX on your document. This run writes the
solutions to a secondary file that can be included into a simple document
harness, such that when running LaTeX on the latter, you can generate a nice
solution book.
The code of the exsol package was taken almost literally from fancyvrb [http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb].
Therefore, all credits go to the authors/maintainers of fancyvrb.
