I have not looked into the contrib directory lately (for quite a while,
actually) so was not aware of the org-special-blocks stuff.  This is
pretty cool and *almost* what I was about to ask for as well.

The only problem I have with it is I need (for specific environments) to
pass a parameter to the \begin{xxx} call on latex export.  I think what
is there is a more than adequate basis for what I am looking to do and I
will add my stuff to it and try it out.

My question is:  Is there a preferred way of doing this?  I can do a
local enhancement that hard-codes what I am trying to do but would
prefer to do this is a more open-ended (even elegant) way.  At the
end of the day it simply has to work.  But I would prefer doing it
"right." :)
