Even though I'm not using Jena in production at the moment, I tried to review
the deprecation and some of the new changes in GitHub. The code looks a lot
better. Less deprecated/commented code. More docs.
You also fixed bugs. And fixed small, but annoying issues like tabs/spaces,
white spaces, javadocs issues, misspellings, etc.
Jena4 is already looking great. I have a Windows box too now. So at least will
try to help more with testing on my old Ubuntu box, and also on Windows from
now forward (and if Jena ever gets used at $work, will be more active here :)
Thank you a lot for the great work Andy!

(Though I'm sure there is more deprecation removal that could be done -
been quite cautious up to now.)

Bulk cleanup done. (API affected in RDFDataMgr due to removing the
"Context" versions of function calls).

I wrote some notes about IRI syntax:
