On Thu, 22 Sep 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the
storebox
package.
Summary description: New package to store multiple used content only once
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides store boxes which have the same user interface like
normal LaTeX save boxes, but only store the content once in the output file
even if it is used several times.
At the moment only native PDF output is supported (i.e. pdflatex and lualatex).
If the stored content is not used in the document after all it is not written to
the PDF (at least the pdftex manual says so).
For any other TeX and output format the package simply falls back to use the
normal savebox equivalents.

This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/storebox
