While not ideal, I suppose it's OK. I'm still amazed that Eclipse doesn't have the notion of optional source paths. How do people deal with this when debugging the JDK? Many modules (`java.base` and `java.desktop`, just to name two) have entire directories of platform-specific sources.

I will review the changes to `build.gradle`.
