XTension build 866

[James Sentman]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was something going on there, applescript changed again how it's handling some of the backing structures and what you have to do to convert around. I will do some testing of this shortly. Strings are such a pain now that they aren't just ascii anymore! But at least we can render every character ever used by man in an alphabet... Thanks for the bug report I may have a testing version for you to test in the next day or 2.
