OK.

Folks think they want jexec, but in practice it doesn't work as well
as they would like, and people instead have more success with the
prepend-executable-to-jar-file trick.

argv-size checks here don't matter in practice.  The dreaded
system-limit-of-doom, namely the argument-list-too-big limit, will get
them first.
