Your patch should definitely add a test case or two to sql/unaccent.sql
and expected/unaccent.out showing the behaviour that didn't work before
the change.

The basic idea seems sensible.

I think these comments confuse the issue, and should be removed. In
fact, I think this part of the code can remain unchanged (see below).

I suggest "If trg is empty, a zero-length string is used" for the last
sentence.

If I understand the code correctly, "src" alone will leave state == 1,
and "src " will leave state == 2, and in both cases trg and trglen will
be unchanged (from NULL and 0 respectively).
In that case, I think it would be clearer to do something like this:
char *trg = "";
…
/* It's OK to have a valid src and empty trg. */
if (state > 0 && trglen == 0)
state = 5;
That way, you don't have the NULL pointer, and you don't have to add a
NULL-pointer test in placeChar() above.
What do you think? If you submit a revised patch along these lines, I'll
mark it ready for committer.
Thank you.
