[capi-sig] set default encoding in C program

[Shaun Savage]

I have to have Unicode strings in my program. Trying to set the default 
encoding to utf-8 is a pain. (another *RANT*).

the way i was thinking about doing it is create a sitecustomization.py  
in the directory that the executable is in.  That does not work. I can 
not change site.py or sitecustomization.py.

How do you set the default encoding to 'utf-8'?
