I looked at the patch. I think the three variables expose too much Org
internals to the user.  It would be simpler to make use of
`org-export-latex-tabular-environment' with a "booktabs" value. Also
and #+attr_latex: booktabs should transform the table into
a booktab-table locally.

If Niels Giesen (CC'ed) doesn't mind, I will implement a modified
version of his changes for the new exporter, in a couple of days.
