+1 and that's what I intended to do for a while now, just need to find
tht time to do it.

There will never be a release from that branch, so we can as well
package up JUnit 3.8.1.  If (1) doesn't work (because of other
backwards incompatibilities in JUnit that may be there) we can
selectivly use that.

They won't.  This is a conscious decision to break JDK 1.4 support and
in many places they do so for good reasons.
