I just checked in new versions of conversions.hpp and
conversions.cpp. The original converters for un/signed
char are back, and new converters for [plain] char are
added.

There are also two new files in the examples directory:
passing_char.cpp and tst_passing_char.py

As usual, I tested the changes with the Compaq compiler
and linux gcc 2.95.2.
