- testing VERSION checks
- added a new module called "integration" for testing interactions between
  various SLF4J versions. This module uses Ant and relies on Ant's flexibility
  in providing different classpaths to various tasks (this is much harder to do 
  with Maven). The Ant build file is still invoked by Maven. Thus, integration tests
  are run at build time.
