This looks okay to me. There's a few places where importing
jdk.internal.misc.VM might be nicer to avoid repeating the fully
qualified name - java.lang.Class and java.lang.System are two examples.
In passing then I wonder if it's time to drop OSEnvironment, I don't
think it has been needed for a long time (the win32 error mode stuff is
legacy).
