yes, every jdk provides them. you usually want them installed, but in
a directory where these can be access by a specific include only.

maybe. but different directories for jvm and jdk are a bad

that would be nice.  I had a chat with Tom Marble how to better handle
the set of alternatives forming a runtime or a jdk, but none of us did
write down a proposal yet.
