Great!  That should grow the list up compileable apps up quite a bit.

It looks like path.separator, file.separator and java.io.tmpdir will now
be read-only properties.  That makes sense for the first two, but how is a
user expected to override the default without resorting to system-specific
env vars?

Yep.  This area needs quite a bit of work.
