Well, creating code or content for cross platform use always will have 
you bothering with accents, Umlauten etc. It would be wise to respect 
codepages on platforms in the first place.
Now as for rewriting lots of code: As far as I see "rev-files" are plain 
text. You just need to write a little parser that replaces accented 
characters with not-accented. To make it more secure (if you used 
variables WITH and WITHOUT accent) you could replace an accented 
character with a two-character mapping.
