I just submitted a small patch to make "os.arch" more consistent
with Sun's JDK as pointed by Oyvind:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q1/msg00445.html
However, at least in my tests "os.name" is being returned in the
same manner as Sun's JDK - I've tested on Win98 and Win2K. Oyvind,
where are you seeing the difference in that?
