Summary: GetOpenFileNameW doesn't support unicode

Initial Comment:
Calling win32gui.GetOpenFileNameW with a unicode (German umlaut) title causes poor display of characters. Tested with Python 2.5.4 and pywin32-213.win32-py2.5.exe.  I'll attach example code.

Interesting that shell.SHBrowseForFolder works OK with umlaut.
