Update DataFrame.to_latex() to have more flexibility

[sglyon]

The simple library matrix2latex has a lot of functionality packed into a single function. I think capturing some of those features in the current DataFrame.to_latex() method would make to_latex() much more useful.

The flexibility I am talking about is being able to do these types of things:

• pass in arbitrary environment names
• specify the justification of each column (as well as vertical rules between them)
• natural handling for latex symbols like \infty
• insert captions and labels into the tabular environment

@spencerlyon2 interested in integrating this?

[sglyon]

@jreback, I would like to, but am going to have limited hacking time in the coming months, so I don't think I should sign up for it.

I'll post here if I do find the time to work on it a bit

It seems that formatters can do a lot of stuff, like bold, italics, background color, etc for each cell. Is there an interest to implement this in the coming months?
