1.2 so far. But there are just a few classes that actually need 1.2 features.
Should be possible to get it working with 1.1 too.
Shutdown hooks are just nice to have. They don't affect the core engine. So we
may check at compile time if we are on 1.2 or 1.3 and skip the1.3 classes if on
1.2. Could this be an option?
