o support for the new codepage-aware ansistrings in the jvm branch
o empty ansistrings are now always represented by a nil pointer rather than
by an empty string, because an empty string also has a code page which
can confuse code (although this will make ansistrings harder to use
in Java code)
o more string helpers code shared between the general and jvm rtl
o support for indexbyte/word in the jvm rtl (warning: first parameter
is an open array rather than an untyped parameter there, so
indexchar(pcharvar^,10,0) will be equivalent to
indexchar[pcharvar^],10,0) there, which is different from what is
intended; changing it to an untyped parameter wouldn't help though)
o default() support is not yet complete
o calling fpcres is currently broken due to limitations in
sysutils.executeprocess() regarding handling unix quoting and
the compiler using the same command lines for scripts and directly
calling external programs
o compiling the Java compiler currently requires adding ALLOW_WARNINGS=1
to the make command line

unicodestring = java.lang.String. The reason this was the default in
the past is that this was the first string type that was implemented,
and without it being the default most code involving string operations
would fail. Now the default strings types are the same as for other
targets
+ new {$modeswitch unicodestrings} directive, that when activated
*together* with {$h+},
1) changes char into an alias for widechar
2) changes string into an alias for unicodestring
3) changes the preferred string evaluation type (in case of uncertainty)
to unicodestring
{$modeswitch unicodestrings} with {$h-} does not change anything at all
regarding the string type (it still changes the char type)
+ new uuchar unit that redefines char as widechar, and which is automatically
included by the compiler if {$modeswitch unicodestrings} is enabled
