Andreas, -U has never worked, and isn't expected to work in the foreseeable
future.  By pure coincidence, I barked at Marc-Andre Lemburg about it today
on Python-Dev (i.e., why are we keeping this broken option alive?).  You'll
have to ask MAL if you want to know more; if it were easy to get it to work,
I assume he would have by now (it's been useless since the day it was added,
except perhaps for MAL's development experiments).
