Thanks, that looks great! (And sorry for keeping you waiting on this
for so long).

I discussed this with Christophe on #lisp earlier today, and came to
the conclusion that:

  * c-strings with external-formats should also be supported on non-unicode
    builds (as is done for streams)
  * it should be possible to specify the element-type of the Lisp
    string that results from naturalizing a foreign string, so that it's
    still possible to get the same behaviour as with the old
    definition of c-string

The following patch does this, cleans up the code a bit, and adds some
tests and documentation.

Assuming nobody has problems with the this, I'll commit it next week.

(I'll let somebody with access to a Windows machine look at these).
