Ordinarily in Mauve external files are referred to by a special
syntax.  The idea is that a given test host can interpret this syntax
any way it likes.  We did this, instead of using plain file names,
since we wanted to be able to run Mauve on platforms without a
filesystem (e.g., a simulator).

So, yes, this is possible.  But it is up to you to set up the test
environment properly.  For instance you could make your own test
harness.  Or you could make your own config.java for the target
system.
