Hi mathgroup,
Just a short summary of the answers I received concerning 
my question about simplification rules for Mathematica.
Actually I received only one hint (Package SubExpressionAccess.m,
Mathematica Journal Vol.1) which however was only of limited use because
the Package was also unable to Simplify my trivial example (a^2+2 a b +b^2 +x)
in an easy manner.
On the other hand quite a few people said to have similar problems with
Mathematica. 
Example:
>> I hope someone has such a Simplify function. If you find one,
>> please let me know. I have found this severely limits the usefulness om Mma
>> for me.

Sorry, but until know I haven't seen one.
