  (2)  How do other SQL engines do this kind of thing?

MS SQL Server supports

a=b collate CollationName

syntax. There are a few examples at

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179886.aspx

This article also specifies a rather complicated set of rules for
determining which collation should be used for a given comparison.

MS SQL also supports defining multiple indexes on the same table and
field(s), differing only in collation (and the optimizer is smart
enough, most of the time, to use these indexes appropriately). I haven't
tried it with SQLite, maybe it's also supported.
