feed-pqm aborts if proposal includes unmappable character

[John A Meinel]

I guess someone put a non-ascii character into either the status comment, or the commit message, which cannot be displayed on my system. I got a traceback and it killed the process, so I can't use feed-pqm until this gets cleared out.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/jameinel/dev/bzr/other/hydrazine/feed-pqm", line 226, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "C:/Users/jameinel/dev/bzr/other/hydrazine/feed-pqm", line 186, in main
    show_mp(mp)
  File "C:/Users/jameinel/dev/bzr/other/hydrazine/feed-pqm", line 105, in show_mp
    print "%s: %s" % (comment.author.name, comment.message_body)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 12, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 571: character maps
 to <undefined>

This is my 'trivial' fix for it:
