Well, I'm hoping someone will look at getting drlvm working under
the launcher - so that there is more chance that people will run the
classlib tests with something other than the IBM VME.  However, in the
meantime, I am running them on linux with:

  DRL=/path/to/drlvm/build/lnx_ia32_gcc_debug/deploy/jre
  ln -s $DRL/bin/ij $DRL/bin/java
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DRL/bin ant -Dtest.jre.home=$DRL test

under linux, and I'm sure you can do something similar under windows.

Sadly lots of tests fail and some hang.  I've not really had chance to
investigate.

Regards,
 Mark.
