I am very much in favor of a shared file for win and linux. I just don't 
have any bandwidth to do it for 7.1.0 (1.1 maybe). Such a solution would 
require that JBoss Tools parse the file since we have a chicken/egg 
problem with VM launching on standalone, and we don't want to have a JVM 
launching a JVM in a standalone setup (adds too much time to boot). It 
might also require that we write a native launcher on windows.

Although keep in mind that none of those JVM parameters are absolutely 
necessary. We got rid of logmodule, which was the only required one. 
There is a couple of settings for bootstrap logging, but the system will 
still work without it.
