[gobo-eiffel-develop] UCSTRING integrated to cvs

[majkel k. <maj...@ep...>]

the ucstring library is now fully integrated into the gobo cvs. you can
find it under
library/kernel/unicode.

it is mostly identically to the version found on sourceforge.net under
project ucstring with some exceptions:
- all headers (indexing) rewritten
- compiler specific behaviour is now handled by gobo
- renamed UC_STRING.*_ucchar to UC_STRING.*_uc_character,
UC_STRING.*_ucstring to
  UC_STRING.*_uc_string, old feature names marked as obsolete

things to come:
- remove self written features and replace it by gobo-equivalent ones (i
think   there is one for converting integer to hexstring etc.)
- write a todo-list
- write the documentation (at the moment you have to live with the
feature doc)
- release the my little test tool
- update the unicode database to the last actual one (currently, i am
not sure
  which one i am using; i think it's v2 with v3 names); realease the
tools for
  generating it.
- a class for converting streams in one encoding to another one

hope you'll enjoy it.
