New extension to support problematic MBCS on Windows.
The aim of this extension is to clear the problem related to having
0x5c in 2nd byte of encoded bytes. So this extension is usefull for:
* Japanese Windows user shift_jis encoding.
* Chinese Windows user using big5 encoding.
To use this extension, simply enable it without any customization.
Note that some important python built-in functions and mercurial
functions are altered for this extension to convert argument if need
to handle MBCS.

# This test check that:
# - custom patch commands with arguments actually works
# - patch code does not try to add weird arguments like
# --binary when custom patch commands are used. For instance
# --binary is added by default under win32.
