Thank you, Taco! I cannot judge about the elegance of the solution as I have never seen any elegant TeX macro definitions :), but it works (at least on my examples) which is the most important part. Also the cp1250 regime (where no mappings were defined) is now happy with it :) Just for fun, I also tried it on greek (just copy-pasted some letters from http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/multilingual1.html). It doesn't work there, but I didn't even expect it to work as I should probably provide the proper fonts and encodings first anyway. I've seen some strange Greek stuff a while ago, which could have been definitions of capitals, but as I neither understand Greek nor "TeX", I can't judge about it.
do you have a zipped example?
Is this still relevant? Well, as it was only 11kb, I attached it anyway. Thank you, Mojca

i'll add a sightly shorter variant to the kernel; i'll also fix teh case map tables since they have holes and wrong entries (nobody ever checked those chars i never use-)
