Please don't use Mono, it may contain some code infringing some Microsoft software patents, I don't want any trouble even though I'm against patenting in general.

Keeping compatible with Java 1.5 would be preferable if we plan to resurrect PPC support at some point. Some big software editors encourage planned obsolence, I think we shouldn't do that even though our resources are finite.
