   After some thoughts ... are there some reasons why the "app" launcher diverges from the "netbeans" so much ? There also are some corner cases in NB's launcher which are not handled by "app" launcher.
    For example: 
   * `HOME` token has different meaning on Windows and *NIX: on Windows, $HOME is replaced by `AppData` or `LocalAppData`; on UNIXes, HOME is ... well ;) home. The "netbeans" launcher uses the same (CSIDL_DESKTOP) for both cases.
   * `DEFAULT_USERDIR_ROOT` is not procssed by "app" launcher, which invokes nbexec.dll without `--default_userdir_root`. This may cause issues if an  upgrade mechanism  similar to NetBeans is used (I do in my app).
   * platform cluster can have '''absolute''' path in NB/*NIX, but not in "app". But both launchers support absolute paths for platform cluster on Windows.
   * "app" launcher includes "platform" cluster in `--clusters` ? @JaroslavTulach - is it OK ?
   
   shouldn't we synchronize the launchers a bit ?
