No, its also needed by JUnit 4.  Which is what our JGit tests now use,
even though they were perfectly OK with JUnit 3 before.  *sigh*

Its installed as part of the SWTBot stuff though, so if you install
SWTBot (for the EGit tests) its magically there to support the JUnit 4
tests for JGit.  Its just weird that JUnit 4 needs org.hamcrest
imported by the *user* of the org.junit package, and not the org.junit
package itself, or the JUnit 4 test runner.
