DONE org-babel-tangle mis-handles empty code blocks

This source: 

*** Cook Observations on Hawaiian Homes
#+srcname: homestead-cook
#+begin_src latex :tangle yes

#+end_src

now yields the following LaTeX 

\begin{verbatim}
nil
\end{verbatim}

which works

however this source (notice latex vs. LaTeX) 

*** Cook Observations on Hawaiian Homes
#+srcname: homestead-cook
#+begin_src LaTeX :tangle yes

#+end_src

is noticed by org-babel, and is eliminated by the org-babel pre-processing because we are exporting to LaTeX and the body is empty.

This may be a good argument for adding language aliases to org-babel, so that both of the above blocks are recognized and treated equally.
