Summary description:  Cache includegraphics calls

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Are you waiting forever while your document compiles? Are you tired of
 trial-and-error downscaling your images to make the output document smaller?

 This LaTeX package provides caching of `\includegraphics` calls, with several
 useful effects:

  * Recompilations are much faster
  * Images can be postprocessed with `ghostscript` before inclusion, thus:
  * Automatic downscaling to specified DPI
  * Automatic JPEG compression with configurable quality
  * Much smaller files (e.g. 10MB instead of 150MB)!

 It needs '-shell-escape', however.
