Aloha all,

LaTeX users are able to define arbitrary float types, e.g. with 
the float package.  The attached patch makes them accessible from 
Org mode.

This is a follow on to my efforts several years ago to support the 
Tufte-LaTeX package in Org mode, and a suggestion at the time (by 
Rasmus iirc) to implement an :environment attribute for LaTeX 
export.  This patch achieves a similar goal, but is a bit lighter 
imo.

Let me know if you have questions.

All the best,
Tom
