Googling "windows console encoding" is getting close to the answer.

At present, chcp reports code page 437, which is a form of extended
ascii.  Truly pathetic.

Here is an interesting post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/878972/windows-cmd-encoding-change-causes-python-crash
It mentions cp65001, which is intended to be compatible with utf-8,
although it may have some minor bugs.

So it appears that after *years* of looking in the wrong places I am
finally on the right track.  My assumption is that setting cp65001 in
a few "base" batch files, combined with a bit of code in
sitecustomize.py will do the job.

I'll keep you informed: surely I am not the only one to be confused...
