ignoring accents completely

One of the sites I'm managing is in Spanish. The ht://Dig 
search there works perfectly (I just had to change the 
locale and make the htfuzzy database, etc.) However, the 
program manager for the site has a strange request - she 
wants people to be able to type search terms without 
accents, and have the search find accented terms.

So right now it works fine in the other direction, "niños" 
finds "niños" or "ninos", but she wants "ninos" to find 
"niños". Clearly it would be crazy to ask the search to 
match the term to all possible accented versions of itself 
(ñïńôś), so is there a way to get htdig to ignore accents 
when it's indexing, so that instead of indexing "niños", it 
indexes "ninos"? (And would this inevitably erase the 
accents in the excerpts as well?)

Thanks.
