The VM code is just stat'ing the library to check that it exists. It 
looks like we could do the equivalent in 
GraphicsEnvironment.getHeadlessProperty without needing any native code.

In the modules build today then the JDK's native libraries still go into 
lib/<arch> but this may change so that a module's native libs go into 
the module's tree. Any re-organization or changes to the layout of 
native libraries is going to expose dependencies and other issues but 
hopefully that we can't overcome.
