[gentoo-java] Merge of JDK/JRE 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

[gentoo-java] Merge of JDK/JRE 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

Every ebuild that has explicit 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 uses greater than operator (for
example >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1 or >=virtual/jdk-1.4.2). 1.4.1 is provided only by
kaffe, which provides 1.4.2 also.

I'm willing to fix all ebuilds explicitly listing 1.4.x to require '1.4*' and
drop merge 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 into 1.4. That would give us consistency with 1.5,
1.6 and 1.7.

And finally 1.4.1, 1.4.2 - that is IMHO useless and pointless.

Opinions? If there's no reason not to do so I'd like to propose that I'll do the
change on Saturday/Sunday.

To be changed:

nelchael@nelchael ~$ rdep virtual/jdk-1.4.
app-portage/portagemaster-0.2.1
app-portage/portagemaster-0.2.1-r1
dev-java/blackdown-java3d-bin-1.3.1-r1
dev-java/blackdown-java3d-bin-1.3.1-r2
dev-java/jgoodies-binding-1.1.2
dev-java/jgoodies-looks-1.2.2-r1
dev-java/jgoodies-looks-1.3.2-r1
dev-java/sun-j2me-bin-2.2-r3
dev-lang/php-4.4.7
dev-lang/php-4.4.8_pre20070816
dev-php4/php-java-bridge-2.0.8
dev-php5/php-java-bridge-2.0.8
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.7a
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.8
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.8a
net-proxy/paros-3.2.13
virtual/jre-1.4.1
virtual/jre-1.4.2

nelchael@nelchael ~$ rdep virtual/jre-1.4.
app-editors/xxe-3.5.1
app-portage/portagemaster-0.2.1
app-portage/portagemaster-0.2.1-r1
dev-java/jakarta-jstl-1.1.2-r1
dev-java/jgoodies-binding-1.1.2
dev-java/jgoodies-looks-1.2.2-r1
dev-java/jgoodies-looks-1.3.2-r1
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.7a
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.8
dev-tinyos/nesc-1.2.8a
dev-util/poseidonCE-3.0.1
media-gfx/maya-6.5
net-proxy/paros-3.2.13

Proposed order:

 1. create virtual/jdk-1.4 and virtual/jre-1.4
 2. fix above mentioned ebuilds to use virtual/{jdk,jre}-1.4
 3. drop virtual/{jdk,jre}-1.4.{1,2}
 4. enjoy virtual/jdk-1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 - consistent :)

I hope we are not talking about changing >=1.4.x to =1.4*? Sure cleanup
is nice but eventually 1.4 will go away any way.

No, I'm talking about this:

 =1.4.1 ->  =1.4
 =1.4.2 ->  =1.4
 =1.4*  ->  =1.4
>=1.4.1 -> >=1.4
>=1.4.2 -> >=1.4

(basically killing everything after '4' and dropping 1.4.1 and 1.4.2)

I don't see us killing 1.4 anytime soon - it's still widely used (especially in
enterprise environments).
