The purpose is just to get it to compile on JDK6. Whether we actually
produce a JDK6 distro is a different question.
e.g. if somebody wants to use the JDBC api methods then it would need
to compiled with JDK6

I'd suggest we do that by default. There's likely a lot of thirdparty code
we can't fix (including user code) that is affected by this backward
compatibility breakage by Sun.
