bug#1331: browse-url problem with non-ascii in url string

[xah lee]

it appears that browse-url have problems when the url contains non- 
ascii chars.

Examples:

(browse-url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lycee")
(browse-url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lycée")

when i eval the latter, it does nothing.
