GS3 Java 1.4 minimum requirement should be 1.5

Description
In build.xml we have
<fail if="java.too.old" message="You need Java 1.4 or greater to run Greenstone 3"/>
http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/greenstone3/trunk/build.xml#L381
however, in the Tomcat release notes it says:
"Tomcat 5.5 is designed to run on J2SE 5.0 and later and requires configuration to run on J2SE 1.4."
http://mirror.fslutd.org/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.26/RELEASE-NOTES
Surely we should enforce this guidance?

Also, if we want to do Greenstone + Fedora then Fedora's min. requirement is 1.5:
http://www.fedora.info/download/2.2.1/userdocs/distribution/installation.html
"Whether installing a binary or source distribution, JDK 5.0 is required. The JDK should be installed on the machine you intend to use as the Fedora server." Fedora 2.2.1
