No magic tool. Just sed:
Code:
sed 's/[àâä]/a/g; s/[ÀÂÄ]/A/g; s/[éèêë]/e/g; s/[ÉÈÊË]/E/g; s/[îï]/i/g;
s/[ÎÏ]/I/g; s/[ôö]/o/g; s/[ÖÔ]/O/g; s/[ûüù]/u/g; s/[ÛÜÙ]/U/g; s/ç/c/g; s/Ç/C/g' your file

If you want sed to change our file "inline" just add the -i switch.

Code:
sed -i 'sed command' your_file

But be carefull: no way back.
