ASM 4.0 is compatible with Java 5

I should have sent this before but don't find the time.
Last week, I've hacked ASM 4 to add generics and varargs in the API.

The code is available in branch ASM_4_FUTURE_2
http://websvn.ow2.org/listing.php?repname=asm&path=%2Fbranches%2FASM_4_FUTURE_2%2F

To avoid to bloat ASM jars with informations that are only needed at 
compile time,
only the jar asm-debug-all-4.0.jar contains generics and varargs 
information.

So if you want to compile your code with generics, you have to use 
asm-debug-all-4.0.jar
when compiling. At runtime, you can use asm-4.0.jar, asm-tree-4.0.jar as 
usual.
These jars are constructed by stripping the generics info from the 
classfiles.

Package asm and asm-tree have been retrofitted to be bit to bit compatible.
Other packages have been retrofitted with the addition of some bridge 
methods
to ensure a better runtime type safety at the expense of the bytecode size.
