Encoding OS and Arch into jfxrt.jar?

No, the jfxrt.jar file is different for each platform. The vast majority 
of the class files will be the same, but not all. For example, we don't 
include the prism-es2 (OpenGL) graphics pipeline for Windows or the 
prism-d3d graphics pipeline on Linux or Mac. There are other 
platform-specific .class files as well.
