I have a first draft of a perl script cala2unico.pl, which is
intended to perform the conversion to Alfabeto Unico.  I'll send
a copy to Alex, who seems interested.  Anyone else who wants
a copy can email me privately.

A lot.  I ordered both a Zulu and an Aymara Book of Mormon,
each US$2.00, but the shipping and handling charge to France
was US$34.88
They arrived fast by air mail, so I don't think that the shipping
and handling is an intentional rip-off.  The Church Distribution 
Center just doesn't seem to offer any cheaper form of delivery
via their website.  US$2.00 is cheap, obviously subsidized,
and you could get the Book of Mormon in various languages for that 
price if you bought it across the counter.
