Hi,

The attached patch adds a new XSL transform for indexing purpose that converts 
MARC21 880 fields (which are used for alternate graphic representations, i.e., 
vernacular representations of foreign language strings) to the base tags.

For example, if a MARC record for a Chinese book has

245.00 $6 880-01 $a Ba shi san nian duan pian xiao shuo xuan
880.00 $6 245-01/$1 $a八十三年短篇小說選

this stylesheet will transform it to the equivalent of

245.00 $6 880-01 $a Ba shi san nian duan pian xiao shuo xuan
245.00 $6 245-01/$1 $a八十三年短篇小說選

This allows an indexing XPath like 
//marc:datafie...@tag='245']/marc:subfie...@code='a'] to bring in both the 
vernacular and transliterated versions of the 245$a.
