The way I got around this was to build a lossy table mapping
ISO-8859-15 to US ASCII, and then applying a few simple regexes so
that a sentence like "Le rêve du café" gets turned into
"le-reve-du-cafe"
Sounds a bit like Sean M. Burke's Text::Unidecode.
I didn't know that module was out there. Looks very interesting indeed.
I'm going to try and wrap ICU 2.0 transliteration in a Perl module, I
might actually use this module as a fallback whenever I don't have
proper transliteration tables.
Cheers,
