Log Message:
Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
 will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
 argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
 default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
 os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
 can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
 the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

! - os.listdir() now returns Unicode strings on platforms that set
! Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, for file names that are not representable
! in ASCII. (This currently only affects MacOS X; on Windows versions
! with wide file name support os.listdir() already returned Unicode
! strings.)

 - Distutils: both 'py_modules' and 'packages' keywords can now be specified

! it now returns Unicode strings. (This behavior was added earlier
