Incorrect support for unicode characters

applied the recommended changed

Problem is still here in revno 30, i think time to dig into bzr version command and check how it displays unicode values. because bzr version have no problems with it

I just commited a fix to this problem.
Also, I tested it in Windows XP, here is the output I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\JuanjoE>bzr version --xml

I am going to upgrade my Python to 2.5.1 to see if it fixes problem.

updating to python 2.5.1 didnt fixed problem

committed revno 33. I think this time is fixed.

with the last fix all the tests related to version --xml are green (there is a (work in progress) branch with unittest)

I can confirm that version 33 works.
bzr version --xml works in eclipse now.

Great!
Thanks for the help!
Now I'll check the fix with the bzr dev's and if it's all Ok, I'll make new release.
