Our target will be 1.4. But, we have to support 1.3. and 1.4.
Because blackbown's 1.4 jdk is beta, now. (you can't summon sun's jdk.) 
And I think there are some problems around jdk spell.
Which jdk should be casted ? 
Shouldn't user accept the license by himself ?

Anyway. the most important thing is source_based or not.
We have to compare them.
1. source_based.
   We can found broken dependency via compile error. -- good.
   But. Maintainers have big responsibility about dependencies.
   -- We will be able to support few packages with enougth quality.
   -- We have to take more time until ship spell to verify.

2. binary based.
   We may not be able to support 1.2.2.
   It's difficult to detect broken dependencies.
   Sorcery's versioning support will be expected.
