Yep, this is is part my fault. But IIRC fullpage.sty was included
in the other subset-type distrubutions (gwTex, for example) and
maybe I was expecting too much in assuming it had to be in
TeXLiveMTS-2007.

this is of course not to detract from your work, that I find, to
summarize it in one adjective: amazing!
