        During a recent discussion about the Full Debug Symbols (FDS) project,
        Tom and I noticed that the current version of the decoder on Windows
        does not look in the JDK directory that contains a library's .dll for
        symbols.

        The Windows SymSetSearchPath() API can be used to do this:
        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681368%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

        The Windows decoder should add the following directories to the
        symbol search path:

            $JAVA_HOME/lib
            $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
            $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/client
            $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/server

        If it is possible to determine the path the JVM library it
        would be better to add that directory rather than assume
        that JVM library we are running is either from jre/bin/client
        or jre/bin/server.
