VerifyError on Android 1.6 (increase minSdkVersion to 7)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use an app that uses osmdroid on a device with Android 1.6

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The app crashes with VerifyError

We should increase the minSdkVersion to 8.

well Actually I managed to run Osmdroid on Android 2.1 device (that is API 
level 7) and maybe it would be runnable also on 1.6 if newer methods would be 
called by using reflection?

Yes, I should have said API 7 rather than 8.

You could avoid all the newer methods by using reflection, but that's only 
necessary for 1.6 so it doesn't seem worth the effort. With newer versions you 
can just avoid calling unimplemented methods. With 1.6 you get the VerifyError 
when you load the class containing an unimplemented method.

Also update Prereqs wiki page to reflect new minSdkVersion.
