Hi,
I looked at some of the components I maintain, and they look good.
Wrt. the test:
1. The local variables/fields don't comply with the coding conventions,
we have been
following in the JDK.
2. Hmm, someone parked a .ini file in bin directory, later removed,
perhaps on windows simply check for .exe ? Should a check exist
to verify if file has executable permissions ?"File.canExecute".
171 // Returns true if the file is not a tool.
172 static boolean notATool(String file) {
173 file = file.toLowerCase();
174 if (file.endsWith(".dll") ||
175 file.endsWith(".map") ||
176 file.endsWith(".pdb") ||
177 file.equals("server")) { // server subdir on windows.
178 return true;
179 }
180 return false;
181 }
3. Typo in comment
201 // Check whether 'flag' appears in 'line' as a word of itself. I must
not
s/I must/It must/
4. There is a method to check for isEnglishLocale in TestHelper, perhaps
use it
to have the test bale out in non english locales as early as possible ?
5. Has this been tested on all platforms ? do you need help testing it ?

Hi,
please review this change. I also filed a CSR for this:

See the webrev for a detailed description of the changes.
If required, I'll make break-out changes to be reviewed separately.
I had posted a RFR before, but improved the change to
give a more complete overview of currently supported flags
