Summary: "ez" format code for ParseTuple()

Initial Comment:
I'm using Python 2.3.3 on SuSE Linux 8.2.

It would be nice to have an "ez" format code that is to
"es" as "z" is to "s".  Whereas the "s" and "z" codes
depend on the default encoding, "es" lets you specify
the encoding, which is useful for interfacing with GTK+
and GNOME libraries, which have largely standardized on
UTF-8.

I think it is possible to simulate the desired behavior
with "O&", but it would be simpler with "ez".

I'm attaching a patch that adds support for the "ez" and
"ez#" format codes.
