[digester] dependencies for 1.6 release

[robert burrell donkin]

now that the beanutils release is reaching toward completion, i'm 
turning towards the digester release. the release branch was created a 
while ago but there are still some thing which need to be decided.

one important issue are the dependencies: in particular, disposing with 
the commons collection dependency (which prevents compatibility with 
both 2.x and 3.x).

i can see two possibilities: either we upgrade the beanutils dependency 
to the latest release (which contains the collections classes that 
digester depends on) or we keep the current beanutils dependency and 
add the necessary classes (as a temporary measure until the appropriate 
methods are deprecated).

originally, i'd assumed that we'd automatically just upgrade the 
beanutils dependency but (previously) stephen made some good arguments 
for added the classes where necessary. anyone else have any opinions?
