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.

Copying subtrees with checked off lists to create a new task would
normally require the boxes to be unchecked. This function lets
you easily clear all checkboxes in an entry without requiring
the RESET_CHECK_BOXES property.

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.
This reverts commit 61dfa0c67f.
This wasn't such a great idea after all. There is one case where
this is really annoying - if you are in the middle of displaying
an agenda view with lots of filters active and you change what you
are clocking it jumps away and you lose the agenda view.
This one case makes hitting a dedicated function key that runs
org-clock-goto more desireable.
