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.
