These changes look okay to me (and as it happens, I've been looking for 
someone to do a pass over all the shell tests in the jdk repository to 
ensure that the VM options are passed through to VMs created by the 
scripts as sometimes we aren't testing exactly what is intended).

On -esa and -ea then they could be passed in via the jtreg -vmoption too 
but that would require changing test/Makefile and also it gets 
complicated when -J is required. So what you have is fine.
