.sty can be easily resolved.

The problem is that many template should be writen as "class" instead of
"style".   If I want to use a custom class , I need to do:

1. (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes ...)
2. (setq org-latex-default-class ...)


I don't know other language users, for Chinese latex user, the first
thing of write a document may  change the document class, for example,
change "article" to "ctexart". If I want use org-mode ,I should add all
the "class" common used  to the "org-latex-classes", It will be  a
nightmare.

In org-latex-class, "article"  and  "ctexart" elements are  very similar, the
only different may be their class names.

I want such result:

1. I don't need customize 'org-latex-classes
2. #+LATEX_CLASS: ctexart  can work!
