Hi

Some of the data I am (considering) indexing includes Unicode 
(Latin Extended-A) characters. 

I've looked at the FAQ and done some tests - it seems that 
if those files are in xml or html, libxml2 will convert them to 8859-1 
But in my tests, latin character with accents e.g AMACRON  (ā) 
are not indexed. I was hoping they would be converted 
to the plain letter (a) - stripping the accents off would make my 
data conveniently searchable.  

I note that the FAQ suggests full unicode support is a way off, but 
would stripping of Unicode accents be achieved with a
reasonable effort?

By the way, I used swish-e.exe (Windows) compiled from the current 
CVS to test this behaviour.
