 The changeset r10693 fixing #11030 (File uploads break on non english
 filesystem encoding) introduced a problem with non english filenames
 in my setup (Windows XP or 2003, Python2.6, Apache). If I upload a
 file with czech characters (e.g. čeština.txt - the first character is
 ccaron or \u010d, the 3rd is scaron or \u0161) the file created on
 Windows filesystem has a crippled name (īeŷtina.txt).

 The problem is caused by smart_str converting the unicode string into
 bytestring. If I revert r10693 and let the filename be passed to
 os.open() as unicode string, the file is correctly created on the
 filesystem. I think that smart_str should be called only if the
 underlying filesystem cannot handle unicode characters in the
 filename.
