Yeah, that's my fault, on my machines I still have ansi build... I
know I know, my bad :-D . By the way, I got rid of the ansi builds and
installed the unicode one. Well, I don't know if this is the right
solution or not, but I inserted at the beginning of GUI2Exe.py these
lines:

# This is *really* ugly
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
del sys.setdefaultencoding

And then used wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding("utf-8"), I am not sure "utf-8"
will be enough for all the cases (probably not), but the world of
encodings is still a bit obscure to me. In any case, noting that bsddb
doesn't like unicode objects as keys, I just encode()d them before
passing to it. I don't think it's an elegant solution, but at the
moment I am short of ideas...
I re-uploaded the new source and installer in the usual place. I don't
think it will make any difference, but if someone could try it I would
ben very happy :-D

Thank you.

Andrea.
