At the moment, supporting the methods that take java.nio.Charset. I'm
going to try and just hack it up with something like this:

  public String(byte[] data, int offset, int count, Charset encoding)
    throws UnsupportedEncodingException
  {
    init (data, offset, count, encoding.name());
  }

and then the same for getBytes().

But in general I anticipate that I'll continue to hit stubs or quirks
in classpath so I'm trying to figure out how best to reach my goal,
which will likely involve fixing up various things along the way. For
instance, my first yak-shaving goal is to run the test suite for the
core library of this app and then hack/fix until all the tests pass.
