OK, obviously I have a version of org-export-latex in my distribution  
that still has the old copyright.  Will fix this.  Sorry for all the  
trouble. Thanks to John for trying to take this off my shoulders.

I will try to do this again myself in the future - which means that  
the Emacs version will lag behind.  We have something like a 2 week  
release schedule, synching up with Emacs is extra work for me, and  
with the next release a year (?) away, I am not sure it is very  
useful to spend the time.

Again, thanks and sorry, to whom it may apply.
