Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible
onto each page of a LaTeX document.  Admittedly, this makes the
document far less attractive.  Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way
to save paper when printing draft copies of a document.  It can also
be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a
conference or journal submission.

Version 1.2 of savetrees adds code to discourage TeX from permitting
paragraphs to end with a lone word.  It also sets the top and bottom
margins to nonzero values because that was too ugly even for
savetrees.  Finally, this version of savetrees improves the check for
\chapter-based document classes, making it more robust.
