I had doubts about introducing JDK_LIB until I saw there were plans to further 
improve upon it, so I guess my uncertainty is now answered

make/autoconf/libraries.m4 line 174:

This is passed to LauncherCommon while JDKLIB_LIBS is manually passed to every 
individual library it's used for. Why not unify them and pass JDKLIB_LIBS to 
LibCommon instead? Other than that seems good
