New library released: django-unaccent, adding unaccent operators to the Django ORM for unaccented search in PostgreSQL

Hi all,

the subject says it all: i'm glad (and relieved !) to contribute back
to Django by releasing the django-unaccent module:
https://github.com/djcoin/django-unaccent/

Basically it enables you (in a properly set up postgreSQL database -
with unaccent module installed) to make unaccented search a breeze.
Example:
>>> User.objects.create(username=u"Ôtâèkù")
>>> User.objects.filter(name__icontains_unaccent='tae')
<User: Ôtâèkù>

Check out the example in the README and the tests (https://github.com/
djcoin/django-unaccent/blob/master/src/django_unaccent/tests.py) to
get the idea.

Of course, any feedback and commits are most welcome (I am even
looking for a maintainer as I'm not intensively using Django since a
few months).

Cheers !
Simon Thépot
