The polyglossia bits work well.  The file local variable prompt for
every export is quite annoying though.  Same goes for the exported file,
opening it brings up the same prompt again.  I guess it is a one time
thing to mark that variable as safe, then it should be good.  

I have a few other questions:
- how does one change the variant when doing a subtree export?  By
  setting EXPORT_LATEX_VARIANT?
- Is it possible to set a default variant?
- How does one insert a line in the package list which is not
  usepackage.  I guess the normal case is still valid:
  "\\somedirective", but inserting a similar variant specific directive
  isn't possible.

I'm starting to wonder, all these complications, is it really worth it?
What do you think?
