I'm writing up a thesis that makes references to "Łukasiewicz logic" and of
course cites articles written by Łukasiewicz.

BibTeX knows how to sort citations by author name: ..., L, Ł, M,...

makeindex does not know how to handle non-ASCII characters. It sorts like
this: Ł, A, B, C,...

So I have to implement the following hateful hack to get the correct sorting
order:

  \index{LZukasiweicz lo...@{\l}ukasiwicz logic}

It only works because I don't have anything in the index beginning with
"lzul". Ok, not likely that I would, but it's still hateful.

I imagine that this inconsistency between the two is because more people use

BibTeX with more special characters than people use makeindex.  But
still....
