The compat stuff is found in "org.eclipse.e4.tools.compat"-bundle which
holds the wrappers for ViewPart/EditorPart and the implementation of the
DI-Container for a none 4.x environment.
Some wrapper services are found in "org.eclipse.e4.tools.services" who
e.g. provide the possibility to publish a selection (I hope we'll come
up with a better solution in 4.1 to push back things into the context -
bug 321201).
Many of the currently available services in 4.0 are not really making a
whole lot sense (e.g. EModelService, EPartService expect the
ModeledWorkbench which is not available 3.x) other interesting things
like Copy/PasteService, ... are not making a whole lot of sense.
