While you're right that adjusting the FS encoding long after Python has already 
started is probably not such a good idea, I do think that we need to provide a 
way to set the FS encoding from within Python without having to rely on 
external settings.

Think of e.g. embedded Python interpreters or py2exe-style applications running 
on Linux or other systems that don't use Unicode APIs for FS-interaction or 
have fixed FS-encodings.
