[Avrora] Compiling avrora

Hello,

I just grabbed the CVS version from source forge and built without a
problem.

----
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)
$ make avrora
Note: src/cck/test/TestEngine.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

The note about using a deprecated API is normal.  So everything is
building okay for me.

I wonder if the compiler is choking on the '§'?  Looking at the
surrounding code I see what look like unicode characters specified in
other branches of the case, but this branch uses '§' directly.  But this
is just a conjecture since:

- I'm not sure why it is working for me and not you
- I've never looked at unicode in Java

This is a start.  Hopefully a Java guru on the list will recognize this
problem.

Peace,
