pip install 2014.1 on windows fails

[Joakim Karlsson]

Installing 2014.1 on windows fails for me:

> python --version
Python 3.3.4

> pip --version
pip 1.4 from c:\src\proworld\venv\lib\site-packages (python 3.3)

>pip install pytz==2014.1

Result:

I have no idea why pip would be attempting to decode any pytz data as cp1252.

An em-dash crept into README.txt and it is no longer ASCII. This file is used as the long description in setup.py.

If I am correct about the Windows failure, this is now fixed. Please reopen if the issue still occurs under Windows.
