By the way, I don't like the #+latex_compile approach, In my opinion, it seem to be a
hack. For user, ox-latex provide too much configure options.

Maybe someone says, it is stupid duplicate code:

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
pdflatex-pdflatex-pdflatex
pdflatex-pdflatex-pdflatex
pdflatex-bibtex-pdflatex-pdflatex
xelatex-xelatex-pdflatex
xelatex-xelatex-pdflatex
xelatex-bibtex-xelatex-xelatex
luatex-luatex-lualatex
luatex-luatex-lualatex
luatex-bibtex-luatex-lualatex
#+END_COMMENT

but I think, it is a right approach, we must know, we have org contrib
package, and we have other personnel org extension package, we don't
need put all the process setting to ox-latex.el, we just add the
following three as defaults and examples.

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
pdflatex-pdflatex-pdflatex
pdflatex-pdflatex-pdflatex
pdflatex-bibtex-pdflatex-pdflatex
#+END_SRC

ox-latex-process:xelatex package can be provided in elpa or melpa,
if some need xelatex process setting, just install it.

Users can develop and share their own special processes with the
help of emacs package.
