I have the shell script that appears below (remember to get rid of the
.signature at the end!) which eliminates many different things.

#!/bin/csh -f
# 
# Delete all \keywords...
# and equations (you know what you are doing);
# \cite, \ref, \label commands;
# \begin {environment} and \end {environment};
# and comments.

# DFK 7/88 from LSN 5/87

# Expand filenames to include ".tex" extension
set files
foreach i ($*)
	   set files=($files `basename $i .tex`.tex)
end

# If there is a .spelltex file, read additional sed commands from there
if (-r .spelltex) then
	   set script="-f .spelltex"
else
	   set script=""
endif
