Summary: Jython and test_unicode

Initial Comment:
Skipping some tests by adding the usual jython 
conditional test around:

- the repr of unicode. Jython only add the u'' if the 
string contains char values > 255.
- A unicode arg to unicode() is perfectly valid in 
jython.
- A test buffer() test. No buffer() on Jython.

Jython have only one string type, so we can't differentiate 
between a string argument and an unicode argument. Instead 
we just trust that the argument to unicode() is a string 
that only contain a valid encoded sequence and throw an 
exception when it isn't the case.

>From a type purity point of view, this is a bad design. But 
it works and I still think it is better than adding a 8bit 
string type just to be backward compatible with python.

Why should decoding Unicode into Unicode using an UTF-8 encoding assumption be valid ?
