Wrapping new exceptions in SVGException

Switching to the JDK gradient tools caused exceptions to be thrown that were previously not. These new exceptions are now wrapped in an SVGException.

Updating to Java 1.5 API

The previous release was compatible with Java 1.4. This update is the first to use the Java 2D gradient classes that were first added to J2SE in version 5. Previously SVG Salamander used nearly identical code implementing these features that was taken from the Batik project. While this did allow the project to compile for Java 1.4, it did require using third party code that was under a separate Apache license. This update removes that dependency.

First major release

Today I'm finally releasing version 1.0 of SVG Salamander. It's been a long time in coming and this release is really just a rebranding of the previous svn/release-2.0. The motivation for this is the migration of the SVG Salamander project from it's old java.net repository to Github. It should also help to standardize all future development.
