Its just that it seems to be hard to get it right. At least we there 
still seem be some issues with it in GCJ.

Faster.

Compiles test classes one by one and doesn't fail completely when one 
test class fails to compile. This is the better way IMO as some code 
is sometimes included in one classpath implementation and not the 
others for a while (mostly really short while but not always).
