I'm willing to help hack out a solution. I just need a hint to help me
along.

- I specifically do not know how to produce a latin1 or utf8 export via the
  existing `org-export-string-as' function call that is being used.

- As for updating the parameter to support any valid back-end, I assume that
  means updating the defcustom from a choice list to a symbol that is then
  later checked as a valid back-end and defaults to a simple choice when it
  is non-valid?
