request for review (XS)

[Martin Buchholz]

Please examine the test
jdk/test/java/lang/System/Versions.java
and make sure it passes on JDK6 and JDK7,
and that all system properties are correctly maintained.
This test was specifically written to catch mismatches
between hotspot and jdk versions.

(I've long argued that hotspot integrators should guarantee
that they don't break tests in java.lang or java.util, but I don't
believe that has happened yet)
