If you hold off a little bit longer (less than a half hour) I will have 
a second cut --- this version has an option that allows you to "fudge"
a neatline.  It finds the nearest 7.5' quad boundaries that enclose the
map and uses that as neatline instead of what is in the GeoPDF.  This definitely
works on the couple I've tested so far, and should work on 15' quads (because
I'm doing it by finding left, right, top and bottom boundaries just inside
the full image that round off to even 7.5' numbers).

That'll allow you to use the newer GeoPDFs with bad neatlines.

I've already dropped a suggestion to USGS about the bad neatlines, but in 
the meantime this hack will help.
