Roland, et al

As far as I know Synapse folks opted for implementing their own HTTP
client. There is no point of sticking to Java 1.4 only because of
Synapse. At the same time dependency on Java 1.5 can render HttpCore
unusable for quite a few other projects, so going Java 1.5 may be a
little too aggressive. Let's see how things develop, and if the
management of home brewed concurrent primitives gets too expensive, we
can revisit this issue.

Cheers,

Oleg
