[Bug classpath/30291] Out of memeory error when building the CVS version

I've used ecj both like Mark says (as a script, but with -mX384M to support the
needed memory requirements) and now as a native gcj executable (where -J would
clearly fail).  I don't think this is a direct Classpath issue, just an issue
with a Java-based compiler and a large source base.  I've seen other build
scripts that allocate memory to ecj to get it to compile (I think Ant may up
the heap).

The recent change is likely to be because of the import of the generics branch.
  This probably uses a fair bit more memory for the additional type inferencing
that now occurs, and also requires ecj or javac (whereas plain 0.93 could get
away with using jikes).
