[chirp_users] European characters in Windows user name

[Shon Edwards]

Hadn't thought of that; that's a wonderful idea.  We live in a worldwide
Unicode world now.  Some of my radios can be programmed in Japanese, others
in European languages.  MS started to enable Windows and apps for Unicode
over 15 years ago.  No reason to not go along now.  Thx.
