This looks okay, maybe slightly better if it starts for "file:/".

At some point then I think we need to re-examine the underlying JVM 
function to see if we can get it to return a file URL for 
-Xbootclasspath/a case too. That is, it's a bit strange for the function 
to return a String that is sometimes a URL, sometimes a file path.
