Hi,

Updating Hamcrest is a problem because some depending packages (at least JUnit
at this time) fail to build. The reason is that in 1.2, Hamcrest changed
signatures of some of its methods from <? extends T> to <? super T>. As the
change was intentional, I am talking with JUnit upstream on how to update their
package. If I don't get an answer, we will probably have to make 2 separate
packages for Hamcrest - one for 1.1 and one for 1.2+.

Stay tuned.
