I don't think this is viable, since some features are simply going to be
supported only on jdk 1.4.  The primary example is working/reasonable
transaction logging: I think non-blocking sockets versions of transport
will be another example.

I really think a reliable warning service is the way to go.  I found Chris
Kimpton's compilation reports so unreliable I stopped paying attention to
them a long time ago.  Are they useful to anyone?
