XCode Unicode Formatter

This is a simple XCode data viewer plugin, based on some Apple sample code.

It is intended to allow you to view the content of 16-bit and or 32-bit unicode strings in XCode.

It doesn't actually work terribly well at the moment, although I believe that to be due to bugs in XCode's data viewer support.
