[cp-patches] StringBuilder and Appendable for CVS HEAD

[Andrew John Hughes]

Attached is a patch to add StringBuilder (a non-threaded derivative of 
StringBuffer)
and Appendable, an additional interface it implements.  Currently, there is a 
small workaround
so that the implementation of Appendable will compile.  The return type of 
these methods have had
to be typed to Appendable rather than StringBuilder at present, as only 1.5 
implements co-variant
return types.  This can easily be fixed when Classpath compilers implement 
this, and using code only
needs an explicit downcast to StringBuilder to work with this change.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts ;)

Cheers,
