I have committed most of this patch. I had to leave the patch
for src/tcljava/tcl/lang/TclIndex.java out because it was
causing a bunch of other regressions. Once we get the rest
of the new tcltest package integrated and the tests updated,
we can take another look at the TclIndex.java patch.

I also added the string.test file from Tcl 8.4, which
now passes without any failures (whooohooo). This
string command was one of the most nasty bits,
the other updates should be easy in comparison.
I assume that some of these changes are tested by
other tests and not just string.test.
