Summary description: Exact word counts, stored in LaTeX counters, using Lua

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a simple package for generating exact wordcounts in LaTeX
projects. It counts words, storing the value in a standard LaTeX
counter, which can then be printed in the normal way. Word counting
can be paused and resumed, so you can skip certain environments like
mathematics, and multiple word counts can happen in parallel (you
could keep separate global and per-chapter counts, for example).

The word counting engine itself is pulled entirely from
https://gist.github.com/phi-gamma/2622252
