One would hope that recent JRE installations would not need that hack 
any more.  It was necessary as the JREs traditionally lacked proper 
runpath settings so that their various dynamic libraries would not find 
each other (esp. the libmawt.so in the headless, xawt, subdirectories, 
IIRC).

(I filed a Sun bug ages ago, and it took ages to get addressed, and I 
likely lost any pointers to it by now, but it might well be that we 
could do without that javaldx hack these days.)
