Just to follow-up on this thread from a few weeks ago.

I did a few tests with CharBuffer.chars() and the default implementation 
performs very poorly as expected. This is easily fixed by adding a 
spliterator with direct access to the buffer contents and that is 
straight-forward to do:

I've changed the templates used to generated the buffer classes so that 
ints/longs/doubles() could be added to Int/Long/DoubleBuffer if needed 
(which might be interesting when the buffers are backed by memory 
outside of the heap).

The yak shaving in CompileJavaClasses.gmk is because the changes to the 
generated CharBuffer exposes a bug in the build of JObjC.jar on Mac.
