I don't think it is good idea to use -Dvm.dlls for setting up DRLVM
specific properties. It should be much safer to use somthing like
-Xvm.dlls. In that case it is really user's responisbility.

Dmitry,
Why do we need to hide the properties like "vm.dlls"? Once user overrides it
- he becomes responsible for a probable application failure.

For example all of JIT properties are passed like system properties and it's
very convenient to override the default ones as command line parameters.
