I'd like to make a list of all the environment variables the Blackdown
JDK uses to change its operation. I don't think there is a
comprehensive list anywhere. Here's what I know, can others correct
this or add to the list? Maybe we can get it into README.linux on the
next release.

1.1 refers to 1.1.7_v3a, 1.2 refers to 1.2pre-v1

Variable            1.1?   1.2?   Settings
--------            ----   ----   --------  
THREADS_FLAG        yes    yes    "green" for green threads
                                  "native" for native threads

JAVA_COMPILER       yes    ???    If set to "tya", then "libtya.so"
                                  will be installed as a JIT compiler

NS_JAVA             yes    ???    If set, runs a JDK with no AWT or X11.
                                  Starts up faster, no graphics. See
                                  also DISPLAY

DISPLAY             yes    ???    If unset, acts like NS_JAVA is set

DYN_JAVA            yes    ???    If set, Motif is dynamically linked
                                  instead of using the Motif statically
                                  linked into the JDK bins.

JDK_NO_KERNEL_FIX   yes    ???    "true" to remove fix for kernel
                                  accept() bug

DO_NOT_FREE         yes    ???    Turn off freeing memory entirely.

DO_NOT_CHECK_MEM    yes    ???    If set, removes some checks for
                                  double-freed memory bugs associated
                                  with AWT. Dangerous, but slightly
                                  faster.
