ok, i added a boolean to ClassPersister, and I init it with instanceof.
I'll also document it in the native id generator.

One problem that i realized now is that the Classpersister is not aware
of the DatabaseDialect. The Database Dialect is only set when a schema
is generated. For the database native keys to work, it will be necessary
that this Property is set. I'm quite happy with it being a property,
because i want to use one mapping file for different databases.

One more thing: How can I run the unit tests? Is this documented somewhere?
