PATH not propagated to the test's JVM

According to http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/faq.html#question4.1,
by design, PATH is not propagated into the test's JVM; instead,
* Linux and Solaris:
o PATH is set to /bin:/usr/bin
* Windows:
o PATH is set to the MKS or Cygwin toolkit binary directory
What is the rationale behind of restricting the shell tests to use
commands from /bin:/usr/bin? We have tests that depend on gawk which is
not installed in /bin:/usr/bin on Solaris 10 by default (instead
/opt/sfw/bin) unless I add a symlink or copy them. These tests fail if
I use jtreg to run them.
Thanks
