A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:

Changes for Build #523 [Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com] Attempt to work around unicode pathing error on Windows

This is an attmept to work around bug #272 on Windows, where startup fails because unicode characters in our default directory path cause us to fail to join() in the ntpath.py module. Since copying stock configs is what triggers this and causes chirp to just silently fail to start up, we can just log and punt the issue. This should let us start up (sans configs) and do stuff. I expect that as long as you save files somewhere outside of a unicode-having path, it will work, although config save at exit probably will fail (which is also non-fatal).
