Summary: Seting defaultencoding through an environment variable

Initial Comment:
Hallo, I'd love to be able to set Python's default
encoding on a per instance basis through an environment
variable like

  PYTHON_DEFAULT_ENCODING

or something. That would require a trivial modification
to site.py.

Why do you want this change? In the long run, Python will
drop the notion of a default encoding; code should be
changed to avoid relying on the default encoding.
