Summary: Errors when setting source file encoding with scripting host

Initial Comment:
When setting source file encoding (see pep 263), running a script with cscript produces strange errors.

A trivial script like

# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8

runs with python.exe, but crashes when running under cscript. The errors are:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.

 Debugging interfaces not available - debugging is disabled..
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\error.py", lin
e 86, in __BuildFromException
    self._BuildFromSyntaxError(site, value, tb)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\error.py", lin
e 104, in _BuildFromSyntaxError
    self.colno = offset - 1
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'int'
pythoncom error: Unexpected exception in gateway method 'SetScriptState'

and more errors follow.
