> This patch adds support for the Eclipse project to be based on 1.4 compatibility, rather than 1.5 compatibility. I've split the Java source into two; src/main/java and src/main/java5 -- the latter needs to be compiled with a 1.5 system, the former with a 1.4 system. I've amended the build.xml appropriately to have multiple targets in the appropriate sections, and tested it out (though I've had to hack the build to get it to work on Mac OS X).
> I'm pretty sure there's a cleaner way of adding source folders than I've done, but I'm open to suggestions. The src/main/java needs to be compiled on a 1.4 system, and the src/main/java5 needs to be compiled on a 1.5 (or with 1.5 support, anyway). To make life easier for an Eclipse developer working on the project in 1.4 mode, the java5 has been exported to pack200-java5.jar and included in with the patch (though, for some reason, the diff tool doesn't like binary files so I'm having to attach it manually). 
> I've fixed the SegmentTest; I'm not sure if inheriting this again is a case of deleting the make/excludes* files; but I've not done that in this patch. I can supply another patch if this is the case.
> I've also written a new test to ensure that the compiled class files are generated with 1.4 compatibility, which should hopefully prevent this form being inadvertently reverted in the future.
