Hi there -

There might be a nicer way to do this, but I wanted to be able to
use Py_BuildValue to produce Unicode objects, so I added a few
lines to modsupport to do this.  Each Unicode object requires
two arguments, the raw Py_UNICODE string and the length as an
integer.  I think since all Python Unicode strings are 0 terminated,
it might be nice to make this into "U#" and also allow a plain "U"
to mean a (double) null-terminated Unicode string as input; however,
I'll leave that up to you all to determine (I would personally like
to see this option).

Bye!
