Reduce allocation of temporary strings

The attached patch makes creation of String objects explicit rather than implicit
(any "string".method() call implicitly creates an object) so that the same object is
passed around rather than a new one is created.

Reducing object allocations, especially in loops, plays nicer with Gnash.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=28009 for the details.

I am, yes, but haven't looked at P1 for a while yet as I've been concentrating on P2 (and haven't yet figured out the whole git stuff needed to file new versions of the P1 swf). Will try and get a minute to do so asap.
