[issue2562] Cannot use non-ascii letters in disutils if setuptools is used.

I suppose the simplest way to deal with the problem is to force utf-8
encoding for the concerned fields, since this problem will dissapear in 3k.
 
Here's a simplified patch, that does it, so write_pkg_file behaves as
expected.
