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 1.3 of savetrees adds support for pdfTeX's font-expansion
mechanism via the microtype package.  Documents built with pdflatex
should therefore shrink even more than with previous versions of
savetrees.
