[chuck-dev] charAt, substring for strings

[Spencer Salazar]

Hey Albert,

The Cygwin build was a little neglected since some of our more recent
refactorings, but I've fixed it up and it should be working now if you
svn update. If you get a chance to try building the latest SVN, please
let us know if it works or if you run into any other problems!

Thanks,
spencer
