Auctex&Beamer recognising pdftex mode automatically

[Brendan Halpin]

I've been looking for a way to get Emacs/AucTeX to recognise that a
paticular latex file should be processed by pdflatex, and was
delighted to stumble on the fact that \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
or \documentclass[pdftex]{...} was enough. 

But it doesn't seem to work for Beamer files, i.e.
\documentclass[pdftex]{beamer} still gets put in LaTeX-mode. Is
this an oddity of beamer.cls?

A pity if so because it's a nice neat feature.
