[Your ChangeLog entry got munged...] I would prefer that you ChangeLog 
entry be a little more explicit about what changed, e.g., "Print escaped 
characters if sevenbit-strings is set."

I think this patch is okay, but it definitely needs a test (and a 
maintainer to approve). It took me a non-trivial amount of time to 
actually get the patch to show any difference in the output.

The trick (on linux) was changing the charset to something where 
(char)0x80 and up are printable characters. I used CP1252, and then I 
could see what this patch actually did.

Perhaps this can be used in a test that will run on more than just MinGW 
hosts.
