 This allows tests to pass under an odd environment: our OS-X buildslave.
 That process is started as a LaunchDaemon that doesn't provide any
 Environment dictionary in the .plist file, so it runs with an empty
 environment. On OS-X, this causes filesystem.encoding to default to
 "utf-8", but locale.getpreferredencoding() returns "US-ASCII". The tests
 previously assumed that any platform which used unicode for the
 filesystem pathnames would also use it for sys.argv .

 To simulate this without involving launchd, use "unset LANG", and
 double-check that locale.getpreferredencoding() has changed.

 This fix tolerates such platforms.
