Summary: encoding problems with Mac OSX

Initial Comment:
The system encoding is not set correctly (cause the
path to the encodings is not expanded) and the internal
encoding is not converted when making buttons.

setting of the right system encoding is a tcl patch but
belongs to the other ones.

When debugging with Project Builder the console works
in utf-8 but the system encoding (for making buttons)
is still macRoman.  When working from the Terminal the
encoding can be choosen by the user but normally is
macRoman (or for the unix guys iso8859-1).  The
encoding of the tcl-console is macRoman.  So when
testing, one needs to change the encoding for the input
channel, if it is not macRoman (cause macRoman is the
system encoding!)
  fconfigure stdin encoding utf-8

The internal strings have to be converted if a native
widget (called control by apple) is used.

The attached patches are against the repository and the
branch macosx-8-4-branch.

Passing this on to Jim since I have no way to verify these or 
do any testing.
