Problem: ToLowerCase and Greek letters with stress marks

I was playing with some Modern Greek texts in Mathematica.  It turns
out that ToUpperCase and ToLowerCase do not work with letters that
have diacritical marks, such as the following (warning, UTF-8
follows):

=CE=AC=CE=AD=CF=8C=CF=8E=CF=8A, =CE=86=CE=88=CE=8C=CE=8F=CE=AA

Fortunately there aren't many common variations on these characters,
so they can be transformed manually.

I would like to note that this problem does not exist with accented
Latin characters, even if they're not in the latin-1 charset (e.g.
=C5=91=C5=B1=C5=90=C5=B0)
