[jboss-as7-dev] AS7 Arquillian update call (minutes)

[Brian Stansberry]

The upcoming version of MSC (or jboss threads or something) clears the 
TCCL from pool threads. We're seeing some smoke test failures in a 
branch using these new versions and John Bailey traced it to an 
arquillian reliance on the TCCL; i.e. the problem was in the test 
fixture not the software being tested.

John can provide more details; the above is probably only semi-accurate. 
He can't help fix it though.

Building this branch and running the smoke tests will show the problem:
