sphinx tips: generate center-aligned table in pdf document

When we type 'make latex' command in sphinx root directory, sphinx generates set of latex files from rst files based on '/usr/share/pyshared/sphinx/writers/latex.py' which defines rules for generating latex files. If you do not like default behavior of latex generator, you can change it by modifying the code.

Sometimes I was annoyed by left-aligned table which is automatically created by using csv-table directive when creating a pdf document. So, I changed some part of latex.py. Below is difference between original latex.py and bit-of modified latex.py which can generate center-aligned table by using csv-table.

( ... just added '\begin{center}' and '\end{center}' command )
