Keep in mind that it's more than just removing things. Sometimes the
method APIs look the same, but the behaviour is different - so the
annotations would have to be relatively expressive. Although at that
point, why not just maintain a bunch of patch files that are applied to
the sources to generate j2me profile configurations? We're basically
talking about a fork now.
