Summary: print Unicode strings in OutputWindow

Initial Comment:
This one-line patch makes OutputWindow handle Unicode 
correctly.  For example,

  >>> print u'\xbfQu\xe9 pas\xf3?'

Without the patch this throws a UnicodeError,
not because of any problem with Unicode handling
in either Python or Tk, but because IDLE does str(s)
on the Unicode string.  I just took out the
call to str().

Then I searched through IDLE to find where write()
is called to make sure it is only called with
string or unicode data.

"loewis" has checked this in to the Python tip.
I've been using it a while here with no ill
effects.

I already applied this patch to idlefork when it was applied
to the python idle tree, as part of the process of tracking
changes to idle python.
