Robert, thanks very much for your fixes. While we definitely welcome
any help we can get, right now we can't handle patches that contain
a bunch of whitespace/reformatting changes. It's simply too time
consuming to review. Moreover, kaffe is still in the 'just get the
darn bugs fixed' phase and not in the 'shine and buff' phase yet.
Anyway, I did commit most of your changes -- and thanks again.

Did not check these in pending Tim/Godmar review.

According to http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/
these should throw IndexOutOfBoundsException rather than
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException (although the subclass would
still be legal). Also, IndexOutOfBoundsException gets "inherited"
from System.arraycopy() so the extra checks are not always needed.

So I didn't include any of these... however, I think some portion
of them is still needed.

To painful to review :-)
