pyshapelib branch

[Bram de Greve]

I've looked a bit further into the issue and the Python documentation 
that the Unicode issue will not be resolved the way I've handled it.  It 
will try the default encoding (which is 'ascii') and thus fail as well.
The question of course is, what encoding should be used instead. utf-8?  
utf-16?
