The commit implements a general mechanism for providing special
(e.g. completion) support for specific link types when entering links
with `C-c C-l'. After calling `C-c C-l', you may now press RET after
inserting a link prefix, and Org will look for a function
`org-PREFIX-complete-link'. Such functions may be defined for any
link types, including link abbreviations. Currently, Org has
`org-file-complete-link' for file name completion, and
`org-bbdb-complete-link' for completion of record names from BBDB.

There was indeed a bug, I think it is fixed now.

This was a bug, fixed now.
Editing source code examples and pictures is not done in a truly
separate buffer, not in an indirect buffer. Indirect buffers had
caused problems with fontification, for example.

It is actually the correct way to do this, and I have
implemented this change.

There is now, `C-c C-e A'.
This commit also implements commands
- org-export-as-ascii-to-buffer
- org-replace-region-by-ascii
- org-export-region-as-ascii
which are similar to what is available for HTML and LaTeX.
`C-c C-e A' used to be the key for publishing all projects.
This functionality has now been moved to `C-c C-e E'.

This situation is now avoided by forcing the selection of a valid
template.

This is hopefully fixed now.

Chris Gray had the idea to have arbitrary blocks turned in LaTeX
environments and HTML divs. These three new hooks allow
implementation has an add-on rather than a patch.

There is now a better error message when either the latex or the
dvipng program does not exist.

This commit adds a new option
`org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry'. When set
to t, an entry that has multiple active time stamps will get
multiple lines in the agenda.
