LaTeX/Beamer template changes (Thomas Hodgson):

* Added `thanks` variable
* Use `parskip.sty` when `indent` isn't set (fall
  back to using `setlength` as before if `parskip.sty`
  isn't available).
* Use `biblio-style` with biblatex.
* Added `biblatexoptions` variable.
* Added `section-titles` variable (defaults to true)
  to enable/suppress section title pages in beamer
  slide shows.
* Moved beamer themes after fonts, so that themes can
  change fonts.  (Previously the fonts set were being
  clobbered by lmodern.sty.)
