I need a function which converts Latin Unicode characters to the closest
equivalent ASCII characters, e.g. "é" -> "e".
Before I reinvent the wheel, does any public domain or GPL code for this
already exist?
If not,
for the most part I expect I can make the mapping from the character
names, e.g. ignore 'WITH ACUTE' in 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH ACUTE'
in <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt>.
Punctuation and other non-letters will be worse, but they are less
important to me anyway.
