Summary: Python configured with --disable-unicode fails tests, more

Initial Comment:
When building Python with:

    ./configure --disable-unicode

the test suite has many spurious failures because
modules and tests assume that unicode support is available.

Installing this Python (using "make install") fails at
the end of the first run of compileall.py, since that
script detects and reports failures; the output
contains many lines with the message

    Sorry: ValueError: ('Unicode escapes not legal when
Unicode disabled',)

This should be fixed, or --disable-unicode should be
removed.

The trunk and release24-maint branch will no longer compile
with --diable-unicode.  I get the following error message
from the trunk:

The release24-maint branch gives similar results.
