hi. i'm afraid hackerlab support is not yet there. if i'm not mistaken,
pika strings are to be based on hackerlab's udstr_t and the _fw (fixed
width) functions: i'm currently implementing them, but they're not
finished. moreover, i think my last patches are not yet integrated in
tom's archive. i still have to:

- finish the implementation of the 'bogus' encoding
- provide the udstr counterparts of most of scheme's string-foo
- move the buckybits stuff from pika to hackerlab

i'd say it'll take 1-2 weeks...
