Obvious answer here: make a cleanup function (some replaces with case
insensitive regexps), and compare cleanup(string1) =3D=3D cleanup(string2).
Something like (pseudocode):

function cleanup(input:string):string
{
var result:string=3Dinput;
replace [=E1=E0=E4=E3=E2] in result with a (case insensitive, /gi in regexp=
);
replace [=E9=E8=EB=EA] in result with e (case insensitive, /gi in regexp);
......
replace =E7 in result with c (case insensitive, /gi in regexp);
replace =F1 in result with n (case insensitive, /gi in regexp);
return result;
}

Not the most elegant solution, but it works and not too many lines of code
:)
