1.5 enum translator

[Ryan Slack]

I thought the following translator for Java 1.5 Enum might find a place
in either the framework or library. The only catch is that it must be
complied with a 1.5 jdk (calls java.lang.Enum.valueOf), although it will
work with -source 1.1. Is HiveMind is required to compile with a 1.4/3/2
jkd? Anyway, do with what you will.
