Minimal config to create Tufte handout in PDF from Org files. In order to use this stuff, put the Bash script in a directory that's in your $PATH, and invoke it as, e.g., org-babel.sh -pdf yourfile.org. It requires two additional files: (1) the file org-babel.el (mandatory), which provides all the default settings for Emacs, and (2) a Bibtex file (optional), where bibliographic entries are stored.

Note that Emacs load-path, org-bibtex-file and bibresource must reflect the correct pathnames on your file system; the same applies for the Bash script.
