A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror.
Thank you, Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: outerhbox Author's name: Jonathan Fine Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/misc/outerhbox.sty Summary description: outerhbox.sty - collect horizontal material for contributing to a paragraph License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Collects horizontal mode material into an hbox, suitable for later unhbox'ing into a paragraph. For use with plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc.
Provides outerhbox, which is roughly similar to hbox, except that material is set in outer horizontal mode. This prevents TeX from optimising away math penalties and the like, that are needed when the material is unhbox'ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
