Most of the time when making Falcon pass unit tests, I'm changing Falcon code, 
not SDK code. 'ant clean eclipse' for Falcon takes only 8 seconds on my 
machine. I have no problem with having multiple targets though.

Ah, your right about this, it would have to be copied over again. But copying 
an sdk with a build target is easier than adding compiler flags any day. :)

Right, It's just getting the setup correct. Which as Gordon and I have 
mentioned is hard when running straight eclipse junit, like a method (no access 
to the build properties). Whats the solution? :)
