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. David Daney
