Not all the org-mode users are expert of lisp and  not all of the org-mode
users are well in English, so finding the variable `org-latex-classes can
customize latex class and adding  a lisp block to it  may be not a easy
things for many users. 

So I expect org-mode can properly export latex without any configure,
but it is impossible for the complexity of tex system. So 

reusing exist `org-latex-classes items will become  a valuable thing, 
it should be implement. My patch is not best way to implement and it can 
be deny, but the problem can't be ignore. 

1. we can add a function `(defun org-latex-add-deriverd-class (class exist-class) ...)  to menupulate `org-latex-classes
2. My patch's approach.
3. others.
