I require Java 6.  So far, I've not had a reason to not support Java 5.  I've 
been able to take advantage of Java 6 and 7 through reflection and tested that 
there isn't a significant performance difference by running 
ReflectionComparison.

Running org.apache.logging.log4j.ReflectionComparison
Timer Reflection stopped. Elapsed time: 0.719909000 seconds Average per 
iteration: 0.000000719 seconds
Timer Reflection stopped. Elapsed time: 0.613188000 seconds Average per 
iteration: 0.000000613 seconds
Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 1.412 sec

Other methods might be different of course. ThrowableProxy does the same thing 
to support for suppressed exceptions when running in Java 7.
