well,

it is a tradeoff,

pro is the execution of the batch file which allows to change the 
runtime environment startup variables (even after the startup exe is 
already created)
con is the probable false detection because a windows binary tries to 
start a batch file ...

What is really needed is a configurable launcher. Recent java runtime 
environments setup windows and others to execute jars if a correct 
manifest file is included. Maybe we should stop using platform specific 
workarounds to build classpaths and add memory variables and implement 
this in a pure java launcher?
