Patch #1272, by Christian Heimes and Alexandre Vassalotti.
Changes to make __file__ a proper Unicode object, using the default
filesystem encoding.
This is a bit tricky because the default filesystem encoding isn't
set by the time we import the first modules; at that point we fudge
things a bit.  This is okay since __file__ isn't really used much
except for error reporting.
Tested on OSX and Linux only so far.
