This is all looking like *extremely* good news to me.

I'm trying to test out Carsten's example, but I have a question that
probably just reveals that I haven't understood the discussion: what
exactly are we supposed to use for the "beamer" entry in
org-export-latex-classes?  Are we using the version in Eric Fraga's
original post unmodified? (But that doesn't seem to have the initial
header-string entry?) [Would someone like to make the start of a Worg
page where we can keep the documentation and configuration code etc as
it evolves? I can do it, but only very ignorantly.]

Thanks,

Dan
