This code is really, really ancient. It pertains to when you could select `-hotspot` or `-classic` on the Windows VM, which was then copied across to solaris code and then to linux port.

Maybe gtest should not be using -XXaltjvm? That evolved from the old gamma launcher, but it is not at all clear how it is supposed to work.
