Great, thanks! Does that include eselect java-vm though?

I agree that we should get rid of 1.4 completely. Then we can see about
1.5. Last rited 3 packages so far, removed old versions of others, will
try to continue. With Betelgeuse we agreed that java5 USE flag should go
away as well, so I'll be removing it, and defaulting to 1.5.
