Summary: Represent language names as Unicode strings

Initial Comment:
Currently, if the charset is not Latin-1, the language
names Français and Português come out incorrectly.

This patch fixes this, by:

1. Representing the language names as Unicode strings
in source code.

2. Converting them to the target character set when
creating the userform

3. Adding a new function i18n.htmlQuote, which works
like cgi.escape, but also encodes Unicode strings. If
the Unicode string cannot be encoded in config.charset,
it uses HTML character references.

None of the currenlty-English language names (Hebrew,
Japanese, etc.) have been converted; if this is done,
the encoding of the file needs to change from Latin-1
to UTF-8. Since Python 2.x for x<3 only supports
Latin-1 in Unicode literals, the native-language names
of the language need to be changed like so: Replace

  u"Hebrew"

with

  unicode("<Hebrew name of Hebrew>", "utf-8")

(A local function u() might come handy for that)

Martin,

1.3 (not released yet) will have much more unicode stuff, so
we won't fix that for 1.2.x (1.2 can't fully handle unicode
anyway).

Maybe you want to have a look at the 1.3 devel version,
maybe you can help us improving unicode support.
