In order to generate usable Mapquest URLs, need a way to remove the
accent marks in an NSString, but keep the "base" character. For

ß I need it converted to ss.
Is there an easy way to do this? In the past, I've used an NSString
category which takes a dictionary where the key is the character
you want to replace, and the value is the replacement. The method
enumerate the keys in the dictionary and use
componentsSepratatedByString and then componentsJoinedByString to
do the replacement.
I'm wondering if there's a better and/or easier way.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Others have pointed out potential solutions, but I have to ask why
you need to 'normalize' the URLs? It's possible to have URLs with
encoded unicode, but does Mapquest forbid such URLs?
