[Templates] Template-Latex version 2.16 released and has a new maintainer

[Andrew Ford]

Andy Wardley noted in recent emails that he had removed the Latex plugin 
from the core Template Toolkit distribution, and that he had created a 
new Template-Latex distribution.

I have agreed to take over the maintenance of the Template-Latex 
distribution.  I have uploaded version 2.16 of Template-Latex (as 
prepared by AW) to CPAN.   There is a subversion repository at:

    svn://svn.tt2.org/Template-Latex/

We will keep discussion of the Latex plugin on the main Template Toolkit 
mailing list initially. 

I want to put together a wish-list of developments to the plugin   To 
start with I have an old patch to make more of LaTeX's capabilities 
available, i.e. to get the latex filter to run bibtex and makeindex on a 
LaTeX document if necessary and to re-run latex if latex issues warnings 
about unresolved symbols.  I will add that to the wish-list and also my 
concerns about the security implications of allowing templates to 
specify program paths.

I would like to hear from people who are actively using the latex filter 
with any suggestions and comments.

Regards
Andrew
