I would like to see a way to partition the different tests.  Sometimes 
mauve will not build for gcj (and probably other compilers as well) 
because just a single file has some problem.  It would be nice to still 
be able to run the majority of the tests in this situation.

I also thought about running different groups of tests in their own 
ClassLoader, but cannot really think of a good reason right now to do it.
