Thanks Mandy.

A "simple" sanity test? ;-) This would involve finding all the libjvm's 
in a JRE and extracting their names, then finding and reading the 
jvm.cfg file in the JRE, then invoking the VM with all the possible 
entries in jvm.cfg and using the version string to try and see if the 
right VM was selected (or the right error produced). That sounds like a 
pretty horrible test to write. :(  I think noreg-hard is best for this 
one. :)

Thanks,
David
