[tex-live] xindy vs utf8 latex

[Lars Madsen]

Hi

I was wondering, is any work being done on making xindy/texindy work with latex and utf8?

This question highlights the problem and in an answer there is a good workaround.

If a xindy fix is too far in the future, would it make sense to provide the ie2utf script from https://github.com/michal-h21/iec2utf as a part of TL, and perhaps even make some perl wrapper for it, making it easier to use for the casual user?

(is piping available on all platforms?)
