No problem at all.
I've commited the change, and I've optimized a bit the output to be a
bit less verbose (the old {\normalsize{} ...} was not needed).
If I found some free time, I will implement the dialog box, but by now I
will leave the AbiWord style by default (if somebody wants the LaTeX
style, he only have to comment the \setlength lines of the preamble).
Cheers,
PS: If at the end of the day, the "LaTeX look" option gains the vote, I
will change again the default behaviour (hey, we live in a democracy :).
