Cool!

I've noticed one omission on my part though: java.lang.AssertionError 
was also introduced in 1.4 and may be depended on by libs using the 
assertion-related methods-- probably want to have this too. This was 
missing from the diff because it has not been entered into CVS 
(obviously). Sorry.
