I'm fairly happy with where my current patch is at (not posted right now - too many different machines involved) and only one test is failing - test_cgi.

The problem seems to be that urllib.parse.unquote() takes an encoding parameter to decode utf-8 encoded bytes with, and cgi infers this parameter from sys.stdin. I don't have the slightest idea why unquote/unquote_to_bytes unconditionally encodes with utf-8 and then allows decoding with an arbitrary encoding, but I guess it works okay for ASCII-compatible encodings?

Unfortunately, utf-16-le is not ASCII compatible, and so this doesn't work. I'm not familiar enough with cgi or urllib.parse to know what to fix - any suggestions?
