[IronPython] Writing to a file with unicode name

[Vernon Cole]

Adballa:
  One problem you may be having is with Python trying to escape the
backslashes in your Windows file name.  I tried a very simple test using the
Python "open" statement rather than any fancy .NET things. It created a file
with a japenese name on my Windows Vista laptop. Note that I used forward
(/) slashes where Windows users would expect a back (\) slash.

<code>
out = open(u"c:/temp/青山学院大学相模原キャンパス",'w')
out.write('testing...\n')
out.close()
</code>

The same code works in CPython, too.  If I remove the "u" unicode indicator
as in
 ...open("c:/temp...
then the same code will work in IronPython and Python 3.1, since it is
unnecessary in IPy and illegal in Python 3.
