Summary: posix needs to generate unicode filenames where necessary

Initial Comment:
Mac OS X supports Unicode filenames.  At the moment this
can't be enabled because when raising an IOError the
filename embedded in the IOError exception (and perhaps
others) is a plain string.  This attribute should be a
unicode object where necessary.

This can be demonstrated by building on Mac OS X with
the last line of posixpath.py replaced with

if sys.platform == "darwin": 
    supports_unicode_filenames = True
else:
    supports_unicode_filenames = False

and running the interpreter against Lib/test/test_pep277.py.

This needs to be corrected after the 2.3 release.
