GRASS SVN Revision: 58403
When attempting to import or link a raster with a non-ascii basename the
wxGUI dialog, after selecting the file, does not provide a layer for
selection.
Traceback from Command console output from r.external, but same happens
with r.in.gdal:
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):

retName = str(name).strip()
UnicodeEncodeError
:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 18:

}}}
The filename in question:
`/home/torsti/lähdeaineistot/Kansalliskirjasto/pitäjänkartta/VVJ/670-253 -
1945 - Röykkä - 1.tif`. The $GISDBASE path does not contain non-ascii
characters and importing/linking files where any path component except the
filename/basename contains non-ascii characters does work, e.g. importing
the same file with `Roykka` substituted for `Röykkä` is ok.
