The original code change did adding ${TESTTOOLVMOPTS} to javac, but I 
dropped it from new proposal.

My understanding is that vmoption for javac would not change the 
compiler's behaviour. I could be wrong.
Do you think we really need to pass such vm options to javac? And if it 
is needed, than how about other java tools such as jar, rmiregistry, ... 
etc.
