I've not found any issues - JMeter compiles and tests OK.
However, JMeter does not use many of the its features.

A better test would be to see what happens with the JUnit test cases from 2.0.1.
Some of these are bound to fail, but if most pass, then that may
indicate that the API is not too badly broken to release.

If it does prove necessary, then we should check that there aren't any
other issues with the API that still need fixing.

Otherwise the process will repeat ...
