/* We supports warmup for UI stack that is performed in parallel

 * might be long due to initialization of OS or hardware resources.
 * It is not CPU bound and therefore it does not interfere with VM init.
 * Obviously such warmup only has sense for UI apps and therefore it needs
 * to be explicitly requested by passing -Dsun.awt.warmup=true property
 * (this is always the case for plugin/javaws).
 *
 * Implementation launches new thread after VM starts and use it to perform
 * warmup code (platform dependent).
 * This thread is later reused as AWT toolkit thread as graphics toolkit
 * often assume that they are used from the same thread they were launched on.
 *
 * At the moment we only support warmup for D3D. It only possible on windows
 * and only if other flags do not prohibit this (e.g. OpenGL support requested).

 * Local helper routine to isolate a single token (option or argument)
 * from the command line.
 *
 * This routine accepts a pointer to a character pointer.  The first
 * token (as defined by MSDN command-line argument syntax) is isolated
 * from that string.
 *
 * Upon return, the input character pointer pointed to by the parameter s
 * is updated to point to the remainding, unscanned, portion of the string,
 * or to a null character if the entire string has been consummed.
 *
 * This function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string which
 * contains the isolated first token, or to the null character if no
 * token could be isolated.
 *
 * Note the side effect of modifying the input string s by the insertion
 * of a null character, making it two strings.
 *
 * See "Parsing C Command-Line Arguments" in the MSDN Library for the
 * parsing rule details.  The rule summary from that specification is:
 *
 *  * Arguments are delimited by white space, which is either a space or a tab.
 *
 *  * A string surrounded by double quotation marks is interpreted as a single
 *    argument, regardless of white space contained within. A quoted string can
 *    be embedded in an argument. Note that the caret (^) is not recognized as
 *    an escape character or delimiter.
 *
 *  * A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash, \", is interpreted as a
 *    literal double quotation mark (").
 *
 *  * Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they immediately precede a
 *    double quotation mark.
 *
 *  * If an even number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark,
 *    then one backslash (\) is placed in the argv array for every pair of
 *    backslashes (\\), and the double quotation mark (") is interpreted as a
 *    string delimiter.
 *
 *  * If an odd number of backslashes is followed by a double quotation mark,
 *    then one backslash (\) is placed in the argv array for every pair of
 *    backslashes (\\) and the double quotation mark is interpreted as an
 *    escape sequence by the remaining backslash, causing a literal double
 *    quotation mark (") to be placed in argv.
