Attached is a patch that adds "real" unicode support to compile(), eval() and exec. This is done by adding a new PyCompilerFlags flag called PyCF_SOURCE_IS_UTF8. Unicode strings are converted to utf-8 and this flag is set. I've added tests to test_builtin.py for compile and eval, but I don't know how/where to test exec.

Updated the patch for current CVS.

(Btw. if it were easy to obtain a utf-8 string with a bom mark, I think that should be preferable to adding the new compile flag. But it's not...)

This is not a full review, but if this doesn't break any
unit tests, now is the time to check it in.

The code which uses unicode APIs should probably be wrapped
with:

#ifdef Py_USING_UNICODE
 /* code */
#endif

Thanks, it's been checked in.

I didn't see a mention in the Misc/NEWS file. It would
probably also
be a good idea to mention this in the docs for compile() et al.

Thanks for the work.
