It was a quick-and-dirty local patch, I didn't take time to write proper
tests.
Howewer, even though jdk15 was only tested on i386 and amd64/x86_64, I
don't believe there's a reason it shouldn't work on other architectures.
There's code for sparc and ia64 in the distfiles.

The same is true for the DragonFly and NetBSD checks: at least  OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris have some operational version of jdk15.
If wip/jdk15 doesn't build on one of these platforms, shouldn't it be
considered as a bug and fixed accordingly ?

Couldn't it be determined without forcing the use of a specific operating
system and machine architecture ?
