API not fully backwards compatible between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

[Josh Elser <jo...@gmail.com>]

All,

I just ran into an issue after deploy 1.4.2. It appears that 
IteratorUtil.generateInitialTableProperties() now requires a boolean and 
the no-args invocation was deleted.[1]

Running the test/compat/diffAPI.pl script on 1.4.1. and 1.4.2 doesn't 
show the changed API in IteratorUtil as I would expect it to. Is this 
script expected to work? I know I didn't run it as part of checking the 
1.4.2 release candidates.

Hmm... generateInitialTableProperties() may not be considered part of the
public API.  The use of it in the Shell is pretty convoluted and no longer
necessary.  It is intended to live behind tableOperations().create().
