Here here!
In the macosx-port we explicitly added a hook to ignore the gamma
test because cross compiling with >the Apple Java SE 6 (which is
how _everyone_ gets off the ground) is impossible otherwise.
I totally agree. The gamma launcher must not be run by default when
building.

For the record, I agree with you all too -- it would be better for it
not to be part of the build. I was just being snarky because it is a
useful thing in general (but outside the build).
