[9] RFR(S): 8066433: Copy Whitebox testlibrary to /jdk/test

[Mikael Vidstedt]

Tobias,

Have you looked at what it would take to move the testlibrary somewhere 
where it can actually be shared instead? I think it would be extremely 
unfortunate to copy the code. I can't stress that enough.

Cheers,
Mikael
