I have uploaded abstract.tar.gz to UK incoming. Please use this toreplace the current macros/latex/contrib/abstract. It is under the LPPL.
From the README: The abstract package gives you control over the typesetting of the abstract environment, and in particular provides for a one column abstract in a two column paper.
Changes in version 1.2 (2009/05/23) o Added style option o abstitleskip now works as described.
NOTE: Will Robertson will be taking over supporting the package.
