Using `C-c C-x C-b' in a headline now again toggles all checkboxes
below hat headline. This feature got lost during a recent overhaul of
this function.

When a line now contains several statistics cookies, all of them will
be updated.
Jari Aalto submitted a patch to this effect which I did end up not
using. Thanks anyway!
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.
The variable `org-blank-before-new-entry' regulates if Org should
insert a blank line before a new entry, when making a new headline or
plain list item. Up to now, the possible values in each case where t
or nil, i.e. unconditionally do or don't insert a blank line.
Now each setting can also be `auto'. If this is the case, Org will
look if the current entry, of which the command creates a sibling,
does have a blank line before it. If yes, it will also make a blank
line. If not, it will not. This seems so useful that I have made
this behavior the default.
This commit removes some of the stuff that was specific for the LaTeX
exporter, and falls back to the default configuration that works for
all backends.
Here is what the commit does:
- The variable `org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines' is now
obsolete. Instead, also LaTeX export now responds to the settings
in the variables org-export-with-todo-keywords',
`org-export-with-priority', and `org-export-with-tags' and in the
corresponding OPTION settings.
- Removal of time stamps and related keywords now already happens in
the preprocessor, so that it will be perfectly the same for all
backends.
- The list functions have been extended to accept an additional
parameter list, to overrule the default setting for a particular
list function. This is used to make the checkbox appearance in
LaTeX configurable, through the new variable
`org-export-latex-list-parameters'.
