Output TeX filename has no basename (only extention) when I set Japanese characters to "Project name" on quickstart

[shimizukawa]

With 1.2b1, sphinx-quickstart generates conf.py that include no basename files when I set Japanese characters (UTF-8) to "Project name".

$ sphinx-quickstart docs
...
> Project name: サンプルドキュメント
> Author name(s): Example
...
> Project version: 1.0
...

and i got conf.py including these lines

latex_documents = [
  ('index', '.tex', u'サンプルドキュメント Documentation',
   u'Example', 'manual'),
]

The second field of latex_documents means output filename of TeX.
So I got file named as ".tex" when i ran "make latex"

$ make latex
sphinx-build -b latex -d _build/doctrees   . _build/latex

build succeeded.

Build finished; the LaTeX files are in _build/latex.
Run `make' in that directory to run these through (pdf)latex (use `make latexpdf' here to do that automatically).
$ find _build/latex
_build/latex
_build/latex/.tex
_build/latex/fncychap.sty
_build/latex/Makefile
_build/latex/python.ist
_build/latex/sphinx.sty
_build/latex/sphinxhowto.cls
_build/latex/sphinxmanual.cls
_build/latex/tabulary.sty

It seems man and texinfo have same problem (maybe).

Currently, filename accepts 'alphanumeric' and '-', '_' characters.
If project name does not contain these chars, some filenames will be empty.
In this case, I think it is reasonable to the filename sphinx.tex.

I can accept quickstart chooses 'sphinx.tex' when basename is empty.
I feel it is good resolution.

Fix: Output TeX/texinfo/man filename has no basename (only extention) when using multibyte characters to "Project name" on quickstart. Closes #1190
