H Kevin,

maybe the easiest would be

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[nynorsk,english]{babel}

However, this will be inserted directly before \begin{document}
which might be too late if what you say about inserting early
is right.

Maybe we need to change the insertion point of these additions.
Any comments by the LaTeX-using people here?
