Emacs also provides `latexenc-coding-system-to-inputenc', so it doesn't
look like one way is more legitimate than the other.

Note that we can have both ways: with AUTO, let coding-system decide and
without AUTO, let inputenc decide. Also, it isn't necessary to change
the global coding system to change the coding system used to write the
file: see `org-export-coding-system'.

Anyway, if you think it's useful to provide a patch, I suggest to
dynamically bind `org-export-coding-system' in
`org-e-latex-export-to-latex' before `org-export-to-file' is called.
You'll have to open "outfile" in order to apply
`latexenc-find-file-coding-system'.

Do you want to provide such patch?
