As far as I can tell, it looks good.

Was the reason you renamed EXPORT_JRE_BIN_DIR et al to EXPORT_BIN_DIR to 
get them to better match the new layout? That also triggered a lot of 
code changes that would not have been needed otherwise. As I interpret 
the fix, you only changed the actual path in a few places, and the rest 
of the changes was just variable renames. If anything, I'd be slightly 
inclined to think that the variable names, while somewhat misleading, 
could have stayed, to minimize the impact of the change.
