The problem there is that when someone tries to actually search for a word
sans an accent in this case, they wouldn't find a match.  Somehow both cases
would need to be indexed...

Your patch to Splitter.c contains a mapping for letters that are also used
as umlaut characters in German which isn't correct.
You would have to map the German "a to ae, "o to oe, "u to ue, and finally
the sz ligature to ss.
