        As described at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-July/006486.html , a change in the JDK that removed usage of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, broke a lot of applications that use JAWT.

        There's a closed test: test/closed/java/awt/JAWT/ that can be used to check for similar regressions. However, there's two problems:

        1. The test is closed, and thus barely exposed/known by developers from other teams.

        2. It doesn't use jtreg at all, being 200% manual.

        This CR is filed to address the issues:

        1. The test must be moved to the OpenJDK open repository. The test source code is roughly the same as the JAWT example in official Oracle documentation, so there should not be problems open-sourcing it.

        2. The test must be made automatic jtreg shell test. The test must be run on Windows and Soalris/Linux systems only. Note that on the Mac there's known issues with JAWT, so for now it is OK to have this test not cover the Mac platform. We'll add support for Mac to this test later under a separate CR.
