Right, so I would expect the launcher to print out a reasonable summary
of the VM and class library version information. We will particularly
require both (VM & classlib) in Harmony because it is so easy to run
with different VMs.
he brief version info may be the spec version number (1.5) and the svn
build info from classlib, plus whatever the VM chooses to report.
We might also consider a -version:verbose or whatever which prints out
the version info from each module in classlib. That will help show
which version of, say Yoko or Logging is being used. We can write a
simple class in Java to print that for us.

I don't care about it being fast.
