Yeah. Too annoying to write the tests for JDK 1.4 otherwise.

Also turns out I've hit a bug in String.replaceAll in JDK 1.4 that appears when there is a backslash in between \Q...\E. Implementing a workaround in RegexUtils.quote now...

I am not sure this was needed for the 1_6_X branch as when running under a 1.4 JVM I think we will get the retrotranslated version of String.replaceAll(CharSequence, CharSequence).
