If you set NS_JAVA to something (like "true" or "yes" or "foo" or "xxx")
then the Java wrapper scripts will run a version of the JVM that does
not need X and, in fact, can not use X. This is specifically made so
that server-side Java applications/servlets can be run without the overhead
that the larger JVM-with-X support code has. (Only a memory overhead
issue, but memory is overhead :-)
This works fine for all console and network based socket code.
