Re: Make tests compatible for gcj's testsuite

[Robert Schuster <theBohemian at gmx dot net>]

Hi,
thanks for that introduction. Unfortunately I think there is more to do because
of the way the test works.

The test setup currently does:
- compiles Java source to bytecode
- removes a class file

- jars the .class files together
- BC-compiles the jar
- creates a GCJ DB and registers the classes
- runs the tests with gij and the correct property to let it find the gcjdb file

The test setup can also be run with the interpreter only but still I need the
first two actions for this.
