One of these options on a case by case basis.

If the feature is non-portable, disable test cases.
Same if it is non-essential.

If the feature can be implemented easily and/or efficiently in Mercury, do it.
That way we get it implemented in Java too.

C# clauses are preferrable to MC++ clauses - they are more readable and
are verifiable. 

C interface in IL grades is not trivial... and I doubt very much that
the C code we use could be re-used unchanged.
