Yes, I just found that. It is introduced in JDK 1.3 but I think we
should include it Proxool. The JDK 1.2 code will have to omit it and it
is up to JDK 1.2 users to manually finalize Proxool.

I have done some limited tests with JUNit and the hook does close down
the pool as expected. Other tests with other environments would be good.

I'll do a test in Tomcat next.

The new ShutdownHook code is committed in CVS version. (We can always
remove it if it causes any problems). The 1.2 code (in src/java-jdk1.2)
has it disabled.
