File.exists() does not work on mac for non-English characters on Java 7 on Mac

[Steve Hannah]

I tried with jdk8-b73 and it appears to work properly without the
LC_CTYPE workaround.

On a side note, I sent the Appbundler LC_CTYPE patch to Marco and he
has applied it to his Appbundler fork already.

Best regards

Steve
