In any case, when compiling this on a Mac, it was
falling over in the Ant build looking for an "excludes.Mac OS
X.ppc.ibm" file. I had to copy one of the existing ones over just to
move past that hurdle.

This is because nobody else was trying to run tests on Mac. In your
case you just need to create an empty file with such name if you want
to run SegmentTest. BTW we need to add such files (probably as well as
"excludes.Mac OS X.x86.ibm" "excludes.Mac OS X.x86.drlvm") to every
module if we want to run tests under MacOS.

That's going to be a barrier for people. Can we be optimistic rather than pessimistic, and change the build to use, in the absence of the specific platform file, a "generic" or "base" exclude list?

(We talked about this a while ago, I think...)
