Type as you like, and feed the file through sed, using a modified version  
of the following substitution file:


/\\begin{verbatim.*}/,/\\end{verbatim.*}/!{
    s+e`+\\accent18 e+g
    s+e'+\\accent19 e+g
    s+a^+\\accent94 a+g
    s+a`+\\accent18 a+g
    s+u`+\\accent18 u+g
    s+e^+\\accent94 e+g
    s+o^+\\accent94 o+g
    s+a"+\\accent"7F a+g
    s+e"+\\accent"7F e+g
    s+o"+\\accent"7F o+g
    s+u"+\\accent"7F u+g
    s+A"+\\accent"7F A+g
    s+O"+\\accent"7F O+g
    s+U"+\\accent"7F U+g
    s+i"+\\accent"7F \\i +g
    s+i^+\\accent94 \\i +g
    s+u"+\\accent"7F u+g
    s+oeu+\\oe u+g
    s+OEU+\\OE U+g
    s+c/+\\c c+g
    s+C/+\\c C+g
    }
