Summary: Add unicode support to compile(), eval() and exec

Initial Comment:
Attached is a patch that adds "real" unicode support to compile(), eval() and exec. This is done by adding a new PyCompilerFlags flag called PyCF_SOURCE_IS_UTF8. Unicode strings are converted to utf-8 and this flag is set. I've added tests to test_builtin.py for compile and eval, but I don't know how/where to test exec.

The code which uses unicode APIs should probably be wrapped
with:

#ifdef Py_USING_UNICODE
 /* code */
#endif

This is not a full review, but if this doesn't break any
unit tests, now is the time to check it in.

Updated the patch for current CVS.

(Btw. if it were easy to obtain a utf-8 string with a bom mark, I think that should be preferable to adding the new compile flag. But it's not...)
