Summary: Unicode in distutils.core.setup()

Initial Comment:
distutils.core.setup() should support Unicode objects for 
the author argument and others and properly show them 
in the Windows installer (currently repr() is used one the 
value, which leads to strange results. Attached is 
Thomas Heller's patch for that.

Walter, I cannot reproduce this behaviour, even with the
ansistyle setup script.  And you're the only one reporting this.

Do you have anything special (setup.cfg is the only on that
comes to mind)?  Do you get the same from the 'python
setup.py bdist_wininst' command?

How does python-2.4a1 from python.org behave for you?

Testing this patch doesn't work for me, but this seems to be 
more a problem of the build process than of this patch. 
Updating to CVS head on Windows, compiling the pythoncore 
and python target in Visual C++ .net Standard (without 
applying the patch) and running a setup script with this 
python.exe gives me the following:
\Python-current\dist\src\PCbuild\python setup.py bdist --
formats=wininst
running bdist
running bdist_wininst
running build
running build_py
Traceback (most recent call last):
