[2.3] Factor out and release Mordred
IIRC mordred can't be compiled with 1.6
it's deleted from 3.x but if it were pulled out from 2.3 and then
quickly released then this should ease the 2.3 compilation situation.
i'm willing to do the necessary.
opinions?

If you really want to work on such things on the "old" branch, I would
prefer to call it 2.4

FWIW i wasn't proposing any refactoring at all - just pulling out the
two classes and releasing them as a separate jar so that users can
build on more modern JVMs

this seems to be the consensus
i'll delete the 2.3.3 release in JIRA (no issues associated anyway)
and create a 2.4 and move the replacements of source with the library
version

i was thinking about cutting an RC for 2.3.2 sometime soon. it's been
too long and it really shouldn't be controversial.
providing that the changes for 2.4 just consist of replacing source
versions with compatible library versions then there can't be much to
argue about, can there?

IMHO v2.3 is for critical bug fixes only. Refactoring is not part of
critical bug fixing.
A set of changes like this one, the mailet jars and something else IMHO
belong more to a v2.4 branch than a bugfixing branch.
BTW this is not important as long as we have svn history and we can
decide what to do just before a release. It make no sense to decide
today something about a release/release number as we don't know if we'll
release tomorrow or the next century.
