[Docutils-develop] patch for latex2e.py

[David A. <da...@bo...>]

I had to make the following patch in order to get LaTeX to accept the
results of using latex2e.py on my ReST.  The problem is that
otherwise my :abstract: section comes out looking like:

\begin{center}
\subsection*{abstract}
\end{center}

and for some reason LaTeX chokes on that, citing a missing \item.
Since I don't know much about what's good LaTeX, I thought I should
post the patch here in lieu of checking it in that way.
