In case Steinar uses en_US.UTF-8 this might not be what he wants.

FWIW, there's also norwegian-postfix input method, which might me less
intrusive than a full-blown latin method:

,----[ M-x describe-input-method RET norwegian-postfix RET ]
| Input method: norwegian-postfix (mode line indicator:NO<)
| 
| Norwegian (Norsk) input method (rule: AE->Æ   OE->Ø   AA->Å   E'->É)
| 
| Doubling the postfix separates the letter and postfix: e.g. aee -> ae
| 
| 
| KEY SEQUENCE
| -----------
| You can input characters by the following key sequences:
| key char  [type a key sequence to insert the corresponding character]
| --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ---- --- ----
| AA  Å  AE  Æ    E'  É    OE  Ø    aa  å    ae  æ    e'  é    oe  ø

Bye, Reiner.
