[Mono-dev] Fwd: Tests for System.Data.OracleClient

If the changes are small, compared to the overall file, we use the
define.  If they are large, we use the separate file.

We could use partial classes, but it depends on whether Mainsoft has
already upgraded their build setup to C# 2, and that would help clean up
a *lot* of the JVM defines.
