Nothing of this is yet working with the current org.-mode.  I am  
building special support for this, basically the ability to provide a  
function that does the class support, instead of the list you normally  
have to provide in the org-export-latex-classes variable.  And then  
org-beamer.el which implements this function and the minor mode.
