      A JVMTI environment can be created in JVM_OnLoad (the entry point when
      using -Xrun) -- however much of JVMTI functionality requires capabilities
      to be set and these can only be set before the VM is initialized (that is,
      in the Agent_OnLoad entry point).

      For example, hprof is launched with:

      -Xrunhprof

      A JVMTI version of hprof cannot be written which is launched with this
      command line.
