Merge of JDK/JRE 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

Every ebuild that has explicit 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 uses greater than operator (for
example >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1 or >=virtual/jdk-1.4.2). 1.4.1 is provided only by
kaffe, which provides 1.4.2 also.

I'm willing to fix all ebuilds explicitly listing 1.4.x to require '1.4*' and
drop merge 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 into 1.4. That would give us consistency with 1.5,
1.6 and 1.7.

And finally 1.4.1, 1.4.2 - that is IMHO useless and pointless.

Opinions? If there's no reason not to do so I'd like to propose that I'll do the
change on Saturday/Sunday.

To be changed:

nelchael@nelchael ~$ rdep virtual/jdk-1.4.

Proposed order:

 1. create virtual/jdk-1.4 and virtual/jre-1.4
 2. fix above mentioned ebuilds to use virtual/{jdk,jre}-1.4
 3. drop virtual/{jdk,jre}-1.4.{1,2}
 4. enjoy virtual/jdk-1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 - consistent :)
