Good catch, Alan. I would have missed that one, since there's no clear 
connection of a single java file moving in the src dir and the need to 
update a launcher build script.

Jaroslav: You can just hg mv Launcher-jdk.jvmstat.gmk to 
Launcher-jdk.jvmstat.rmi.gmk, or whatever name you agree on for the new 
module.
