[threeten-dev] tzdb compiler cleanup

[Xueming Shen]

its class doc does say

"StringTokenizer is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility 
reasons although its use is discouraged in new code. It is recommended 
that anyone seeking this functionality use the split method of String or 
the java.util.regex package instead."

And as the maintainer of regex/scanner, I feel I have the obligation to 
encourage
the "new" code to use them:-)
