Given that permissive- will become the Visual C++ compiler's default mode of operation in the future, it is better to handle this now so future compiler upgrades will not cause issues. Problems here are very easily solved with explicit casts

I believe `jchar` and `wchar_t` are both 16 bit integers. I just hope we use the same style throughout JDK. If you believe this is a JDK wide issue, how about filing an umbrella bug and make the current bug as part of it? Thus at least the build team will notice it and maybe they will make a plan.
