Since various Mauve users have said they wanted something like this anyway; 
I went ahead and coded the jvm-parsing stuff already.
I read all source files, parse the minimum/maximum JVM 'Tags' from that file 
and store it.
Then I have a new class called 'Filter' which will ask you what which 
version you want to check.  If you choose JDK1.0 it will create a file with 
only 1.0 tests, if you choose 1.3 it will create a file with 1.0, 1,1, 1.2 
and 1.3 tests.

That output file can then be piped into the SimpleTestHarness.

This brings the running of mauve back to one 'java -jar' and then just 
following instructions.  (that 'java' is just an example; it should work on 
any JVM)
here is the jar file: http://members.home.nl/zander/alltests.jar (1mb)

This surely does not solve the whole problem; but I felt it would be usefull 
to point out my progress this far.
