2011-04-04	I made some awesome progress on the UtfString system, it stores in native utf16	Mike Buland
	encoding to make things easier (little endian in our case). It can currently read utf8 and utf16be, but not BOM. It will give you full unicode code points instead of the raw utf16 values, which is pretty slick.
2011-03-22	We now have a UTF-8 test parser, I'm going to move it into a functor, I think.	Mike Buland

2011-01-20	Made (very) basic progress towards defining UtfString. It's actually going to	Mike Buland
	use a Bu::String as it's backend storage, so we'll get all the great out of that...
2011-01-20	Wow, got the Stream changes propegated, all tests build with string instead of	Mike Buland
	fstring, and updated the copyright notice to extend to 2011
2011-01-20	Bu::FString is now String, and there's a shell script to fix any other programs	Mike Buland
	that were using fstring, I hope.
2010-11-19	I now think that this may not work out at all. It looks like if we want proper	Mike Buland
	Unicode handling we'll need to implement a series of codecs and converters as well as tables of codepages and lookups. It'll be interesting, I guess, but it makes me care a lot less about proper encoding. Anyway, UtfString uses shorts instead of chars, so it's a step in the right direction, but still not enough to be able to handle proper UTF-16 encoding, maybe UCS-2 encoding, but... ...that's lame. Bu::FBasicString has been generalized a bit with optimizations from libc for char based strings. It also, unfortunately, still uses char-only functions in several places, those all rely on char casting strings at the moment just to get the thing to compile. Basically, it's not a good UTF-16 solution yet, and it may never be and remain compatible with char based strings.
