I have attached a rough proof-of-concept that will export the above
table correctly with mathjax.  But I guess it will also have to handle
it correctly in the case of static png images.

I'm not sure how to handle captions.  I guess the most natural way is
to let org-latex-table handle is.  Let me know if something like this
is OK in which case I can polish it up and add documentation.
