java.library.path fix for MacOS X (7145798)

[Greg Brown]

I actually think "JavaVM" is appropriate, since the contents of this dictionary as well as the contents of the JavaVM folder are used to create and launch an instance of a Java Virtual Machine. We're currently using JLI_Launch() to create the VM instance, but we could just as easily be using JNI_CreateJavaVM() (and most likely are, somewhere under the hood).
