patch from qres

I have a patch for babel as used by qres.

It was originally written by Scott McKay and Dan Weinreb (RIP), to 1- add support for CESU-8 (as infamously used by Oracle). 2- speed up babel (and measure the speed) Plus by me to 3- support XCVB.

I've removed some extraneous type declarations from SWM&DLW, where some other macro already declared a type, and also removed some handling for surrogate codes that was already added upstream since.

The patch is attached (against HEAD on github).
