I don't care about it too much. Let it be "default". In that case
-vmdir option should be specified each time. Is it convenient for
users? BTW it seems there will be some problems with hythr.dll library
if we wish to use drlvm and j9 in simultaneously. But that's another
story...
Evgueni,
The patch you provided hardcodes name of vmdir, so the command-line
option would not help... OTOH, indeed it is possible to put J9 in
jre/bin/j9 and drlvm in jre/bin/drlvm (exactly as Geir said) and just
symlink one of them to jre/bin/default as needed :)
Regarding hythr lib, DRLVM can load the lib from it's own directory,
isn't it? BTW, is there any reason to name it equally with the
classlib's counterpart? I suppose it is loaded only dynamically
anyway.
Still I think this patch is enough for basic launcher support; we can
make it more reliable and customizable later.

Yes, the patch contains changes for both parts vm and build.
It was easy for me to change the build than do manual manipulations each time to
check whether it runs OK or not.
