     * from the manifest, but not parsed properly for UTF-8 support.
     * Hence the code here ignores the value previously extracted and
     * uses the pre-existing code to reextract the value.  This is
     * possibly an end of release cycle expedient.  However, it has
     * also been discovered that passing some character sets through
     * the environment has "strange" behavior on some variants of
     * Windows.  Hence, maybe the manifest parsing code local to the
     * launcher should never be enhanced.
     *
     * Hence, future work should either:
     *	   1)	Correct the local parsing code and verify that the
     *		Main-Class attribute gets properly passed through
     *		all environments,
     *	   2)	Remove the vestages of maintaining main_class through
     *		the environment (and remove these comments).
