Completely removing umlauts etc. makes such a bad impression outside of the US! It's like writing "Adran Hlty" instead od "Adrian Holovaty". I have python code to do this and could provide a patch if no one else does. It's really easy with Unicode. Say. do people in Finland also usually rewrite into ASCII like this: ä -> ae ö -> oe ü -> ue ?
