Initial Comment:
"Error in startup script" dialog
can't display non-ASCII symbols on Windows.

Test script (\u0410 - russian letter 'A'):
----------
error \u0410
----------

Result: window with following text:
--------
??
  while executing 
"error \u0410"
  (file "test.tcl" line 1)
--------

Fixed tkWinInit.c to use MessageBoxW (unicode version) 
which the MSDN says exists on all platforms.  The above 
then shows an 'A' in the dialog (I guess as expected).  In 
8.4a4cvs.

The problem is with TkpDisplayWarning() in
win/tkWinInit.c.  This may be a limitation
of the Win32 native MessageBox used to display
the error.
