Summary: Add encoding to DocFileSuite

Initial Comment:
If one writes doctests within documentation strings of classes and 
functions, it's possible to use non-ASCII characters since one can 
specify the encoding used in the source file.

But if one wants to combine the documentation and testing, by 
writing a text file, and thus use DocFileSuite, it's not possible to use 
non-ASCII characters in the tests. This is because there's no way 
of specifying which encoding the text file uses. Instead one has to 
\-quote all non-ASCII characters, and that makes the tests harder 
to read IMHO.

The patch looks good to me.  I haven't looked at the tests,
but I assume that they are good too.  I will look at them. :)

I'm also going to add PEP 263-style encoding specification.

Thanks!

Ed, can you make time to review this patch?  If not, please 
unassign it again.

Uploaded new patch, which adds the possibility to specify an encoding to 
testfile as well, since I assume this is desirable.

Unassigned myself -- can't make time to work on it.  I'll be 
happy to review a patch (code/tests/docs) if one appears.  I 
approve of the idea <wink>.
