The build.xml is auto-generated by our ant-build-system. So we could
add some parameter into it. But I found this too much of an overkill,
and working on the ant-build-system would mean this goes into staging
(we have too many Java package).

Thus, at first I thought the idea with the additional phase wouldn't
fit here. But at the second glimpse: The build.xml file definitely
already exists before running the tests (even before build). So we
could add a phase that substitutestars and adds the maxmemory parameter
in the build.xml.
