I haven't followed this whole thread, so please forgive me if I'm
duplicating information.  With the latest Org-mode from git, regular
source-code blocks can be exported into the lstlisting LaTeX
environment.  I mention this because it does not appear as an option in
your ECM.  For instructions see
