Just tried the texi2dvi command that is nice, one problem though, it
only makes use of pdflatex.
In certain situations, I like to use latex+ps2pdf (some journals ask for
.eps image file) or xelatex when mixing several fonts and writing in
UTF-8 is mandatory, for example French + Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, etc.
Currently I used the function below that I hook to the org-export-latex
process.
AFAIK, providing one use few packages, a .tex file to be used with
pdflatex can be similar to one to be used with xelatex. The content of
the document (UTF-8 characters) will make the difference.
To circumvent this problem, considering pdflatex as the default option,
I add to the org file a:
"#+LATEX_CMD: xelatex" or "#+LATEX_CMD: latex"
Note: bibtex and glossaries compilation are detected by their call,
e.g. \bibliography
How about introducing a "#+LATEX_CMD:" option in org-mode? (and default
to pdflatex)

That also allow for customisation of the export of packages, for instance:
,----

| (setq org-export-latex-packages-alist
| '(("" "graphicx" t)
| ("" "longtable" nil)
| ("" "amssymb" t)
| ("" "color" t)

| ("" "float" nil)))
|
| ; Custom packages
| (defun my-auto-tex-parameters ()
| "Automatically select the tex packages."
| ; Default pdflatex
| (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist
| '(("AUTO" "inputenc" t)))
| ; Look for xelatex call
| (if (string-match "LATEX_CMD: xelatex" (buffer-string))
| (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist
| '(("" "fontspec" t))))
|
| (add-hook 'org-export-latex-after-initial-vars-hook 'my-auto-tex-parameters)
