Summary: unicode support for os.listdir()

Initial Comment:
The attached patch makes os.listdir() return unicode strings, on plaforms that have Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding defined as non-NULL.

I'm by no means sure this is the right thing to do; it does seem right on OSX where Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is (or rather: will be real soon, I'm waiting for Jack's approval) utf-8. I'd be happy to add the code in an OSX-specific switch.

A more subtle variant could perhaps only return unicode strings if the file name is not ASCII.
