here's a working version of org-generic

I have a bunch of random things that I'd like to export org stuff too
and it seemed to me that much of the work of writing code to export
stuff from org-mode into external documents could be conquered by simple
string specifiers.  So yesterday I hacked something together that is
actually working enough I should be able to use it to other random xml
formats, etc.  It's far from complete but it's usable by the average
elisp hacker.  See the todo list at the top for all the things it
*doesn't* do (sigh).

EG, the demo specifier in the example specifier list (see the code) can
be used to take this:

  Test

  * level 1
    text level 1
  *** level 2
      text level 2
  :  this
  :   is
  :    critical
  ***** level 3
        text [[file:foo2.org][level 3]]
  ***** Another 3
        more text level 3
  *** level 2 again
      more text level 2
  ******* jump to level 4
  	level 4 text
  *** back to 2

To produce this:

Isn't the filename (org-generic.el) well, um, too generic?  If it's
export-related wouldn't something like org-export-generic.el be better?
(or maybe even org-export-tools.el? )

Well, I was psuedo-modeling it after the existing file names.  Single
dash, etc.  I hardly care about the name of the file ;-) Maybe
org-carefree?  org-styleless?  org-everything?

Well, let's define a naming scheme for attempts to make other exporters.

Since org-export-latex no longer exists, lets indeed use names like

org-export-xxxxxxxxxxx.el

This wil leave the org-xxxxxx.el for other applications.

Thanks.

Fine by me.  I'll use org-export-generic.

Hi Wes, this is fun, I hope you continue to improve it.

One problem I notices:  I think multiple lines starting with ": "
must be seen as one block, most backends will need this.

Yep.  It was, err...  not on my todo list because I failed to write it
down.  But I did realize the problem existed...  Thanks for reminding me
so I added it to the documented list :-)
