This won't work very well in the IDEs. For example, Eclipse does not allow
to specify different compiler settings per-source folder (i.e. main code vs.
tests). So, I would advise against encouraging such feature. Besides users
can still use older junit versions that work on 1.4, or they could move
tests into a separate project.
