Package 'chaletex'

Title: Extract LaTeX packages from TeX files and Install Them
Description: Trying to compile LaTeX files can be frustrating when you need to stop at every attempted compile and install the missing packages. The goal of chaletex is to make it easy to extract packages you need to install from LaTeX. It is named `chaletex` as we want this to be like walking into a Chalet after a big day - a nice, friendly, cozy place for your TeX problems.
