Hi Hans very nice! & Servo_Firmata is working like a charm, with Analog_Firmata the servo turn's alittle whacky - might be due to the servos specs?!
Cool! It's alpha, so I expect problems. It should be fixable though.
what's a potential use of the string stuff?
I don't really know, but people have requested it. One example would
be sending strings to a little screen. Another is querying the
arduino for the name of the firmware it is running.

Just drop the library into arduino-0011/hardware/libraries, and the example firmwares should show up under Open -> Examples. There are two firmwares that should control servos when you send the [pwm ( message to the pin (it's rough).
This is an alpha release, so things could be rough. There are some docs tho:
