Patch: Increase boehm-gc MAX_ROOT_SETS

[Boehm, Hans]

Wouldn't it be better to just make LARGE_CONFIG the default, as Andrew
suggested?

I think that most gcj apps are big enough that the extra constant space
overhead should be in the noise.  And it potentially avoids some other
issues with very large heaps.
