nltk/nltk — Issue #81: the parser example apps cannot handle unicode

In the parser apps (chartparser_app, rdparser_app, srparser_app), non-ascii characters in terminals
are not allowed - when editing the grammar, an 'ä' becomes red, and it's not possible to parse. At
least not on a Mac.

When I edit the grammar again, the 'ä' has been translated to '\xc3\xa4'. But if I write an 'ä' in the
example Text, it translated to u'\xe4' in the parser window.

So there's probably some en-/decoding issues here.
