Unfortunately, I don't see a possibility for me to do the same as OpenJDK does 
currently (maybe I'm just too blind to see). python-jcc is a Python library 
and how can I re-exec arbitrary programs which don't expect that?

Furthermore setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only useful for new processes so I 
can't just add this env variable in the library (before loading the binary 
module).

I filed a new review request so you may add comments directly in this bug:

Thanks for your input :-)
