Current CharToByteConverter and ByteToCharConverter do so.

I experimentally imported GNU Classpath's java.io.InputStreamReader
and java.io.OutputStreamWriter and the result was successful.

This is what I did.

1. Copy the following files from GNU Classpath and use them as they are.

   gnu/java/io/encode/Encoder.java
   gnu/java/io/decode/Decoder.java

2. Copy the following file from GNU Classpath and modify it for
   use with kaffe.

   gnu/java/io/EncodingManager.java

3. Copy the following files from GNU Classpath and change the
   package name from "java.io" to "javatest.io".

   java/io/InputStreamReader.java
   java/io/OutputStreamWriter.java

4. Make the following new files.

   gnu/java/io/encode/KaffeEncoder.java
   gnu/java/io/decode/KaffeDecoder.java

5. Make a test program.

   TestKaffeEncoding.java

Attached are these files.
