Log Message:
Made "ascii" the default encoding for MacPython, as suggested by MvL, and ripped out my previous changes to test_unicode. Doing this for 2.3a1 should give people enough time to complain, if they want to, and then we can see whether we want to do anything about it.

  - MacPython no longer maps both \r and \n to \n on input for any text file.
    This feature has been replaced by universal newline support (PEP278).
+   
+ - The default encoding for Python sourcefiles in MacPython-OS9 is no longer
+   mac-roman (or whatever your local Mac encoding was but "ascii", like on
+   other platforms. If you really need sourcefiles with Mac characters in them
+   you can change this in site.py.
