AElfred Bug and Patch

I have received a bug report for AElfred 1.1 (and earlier versions)
concerning the treatment of signed bytes in UCS-2/UTF-16 and UCS-4
encoded text. I will put out a maintenance version 1.1.1 in a few
days, once other people have had time to report any additional bugs;
in the mean time, since the patch is tiny (1,529 characters), I am
including here for anyone who needs UCS-2/UTF-16 or UCS-4 right away.
Thanks to Yoshida Masato for the bug report.
