Forget tcl & python banana tricks wouter,
Russel has specifically said that he wants support for non ascii chars.
That means you'll have to read either RTF or DOC or HTML formats.
So the plain old text way of doing it is out of question. If it was text
only,
anyone could implement a solution to this problem in C++ withn 50 lines of
code
using the STL set container.

Possibly it could be done with VBA macros in word.
Maybe it could be done in EMACS.
Scott is right with the right OS (*nix) its a free banana trick.
