TestEnv was my attempt to centralize the host dependencies so that they 
could be specified to jtreg as a properties file (and make it a bit 
easier to run them outside of Sun's network). Joe was anxious we do 
something about this in 6open so that is why it was pushed there first 
(back in 6open-b12). It's on my list to push this to the jdk7/tl 
repository.
