The problem with doing this is that it means that parts of Mauve
won't compile against classpath head.  This in turn means that an
eclipse checkout will always show errors.

I suppose if we put these tests into a segregated part of the
directory tree we could easily turn them off in the eclipse build.
Perhaps we could just disable eclipse compilation of individual
files, I haven't looked...

Another idea would be to make a generics branch for mauve and then
merge it when we do the merge for classpath.
