2.) Let BodyDescriptor provide full blown access to the headers

      Currently, BodyDescriptor offers access to the content-type and
      content-transfer-encoding headers only.

     As a consequence, the mime4j user is forced to listen for T_FIELD events
     and build its own header map. This is duplicated work, in
particular, because
     all mime4j users will likely do the same.

     I'd propose to:

       - Replace BodyDescriptor with an interface. (Assumes that this
is possible,
         I am guessing by the version number 0.4, but I maybe wrong.)
       - Make the BodyDescriptor implementation pluggable by adding a method

           protected void newBodyDescriptor()

         to the Mime4JTokenStream.
       - Provide a default implementation that maintains a map of headers and
         values.
       - Open up the method

             private void getHeaderParams(String)

         by making it static and moving it to a utility class or by
providing an accessor
         that takes a header name as an argument and invokes the
method by providing
         the value as input.
       - Rename getParameters() to getContentTypeParameters(),
because the method
         name is definitely confusing. I clearly had the impression
that this method would
         provide the header values.
