Summary: GL support for Python UCS4

Initial Comment:
If you build python with the --enable-unicode=ucs4 as with several large 3d packages, (Maya, Houdini on linux64) You can not use the full opengl module.  Example below

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr  8 2008, 11:09:35) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)] on linux2
