Making directory and file names "Windows-safe" via AppleScript

Actually I had this problem not with copying file to Windows, but copying files to/from an FTP-server that doesn't support UTF8. This hint at macosxhints.com comes very handy in converting accented/national characters in filenames to some safe (eg. ASCII) variant.

Unfortunately I just see that the given script replaces a list of "illegal" characters with a single subsitution. Thus you cannot replace "á" with "a" and "é" with "e" at the same time ... at least not as it is now.
