 Trying to importing a file that resides in a path with special characters
 (accent in this case), I get the following errors.

 In trunk:


 {{{
 > v.import
 input=/home/mlennert/Données/ne_110m_admin_0_countries/ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp
 output=countries
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/mlennert/SRC/GRASS/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu/scripts/v.import", line 284, in <module>
     options, flags = grass.parser()
   File "/home/mlennert/SRC/GRASS/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu/etc/python/grass/script/core.py", line 719, in parser
     cmdline += [b'"' + encode(arg) + b'"' for arg in sys.argv[1:]]
   File "/home/mlennert/SRC/GRASS/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu/etc/python/grass/script/utils.py", line 174, in encode
     return string.encode(enc)
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 25:
 ordinal not in range(128)
 }}}

 In release70:


 {{{
 > v.import
 input=/home/mlennert/Données/ne_110m_admin_0_countries/ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp
 output=countries
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/mlennert/SRC/GRASS/grass70_release/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu/scripts/v.import", line 273, in <module>
     sys.exit(main())
   File "/home/mlennert/SRC/GRASS/grass70_release/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-
 gnu/scripts/v.import", line 158, in main
     f.write('GISDBASE: %s\n' % GISDBASE)
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
 position 29: ordinal not in range(128)
 }}}

 I get exactly the same errors with r.import.
