JDK-6367077 - Purge LD_LIBRARY_PATH usage from the launcher
Description
jawt libraries cannot be loaded anymore, there is a special path $ORIGIN/lib/$LIBARCH
path needed to load jawt libraries, see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/guide/awt/AWT_Native_Interface.html,
thus when the build systems began using RPATH and the launcher purged  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
this path was lost, forcing users to either preload it or use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
