Title:
  [request] some system environment test command is needed

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  with the evolving features (e.g. VNC support seems to raise over
  horizon ;-) and the increasing interest in the app world wide, Sikuli
  having the pretension to work on different environments/systems, needs
  some support to help people to figure out wether they can work with
  Sikuli according their intentions.

  this could be something downloadable before downloading Sikuli and or
  integrated in the installation process. On top it should be usable
  standalone, to be able to check the system environment on other
  machines or systems.

  already now (even easier with X 1.0rc2) the only basics that are needed is the folder containing the native libs and sikuli-script.jar and you can do a simple test on commandline (based on a standard installation and correct system path):
  --- (it is 1 line ;-):
  echo from sikuli.Sikuli import *; print SCREEN | java -cp "path-to-sikuli\sikuli-script.jar" org.python.util.jython

  Using the Jython level for the test makes it possible to do something without touching any Sikuli features, e.g.
  echo import sys; for e in sys.path: print e
  would show the current contents of sys.path

  so in a first step the java/jython environment could be analyzed and
  reported and in a second step all the prereqs Sikuli needs to run
  (even divided in the question: only sikuli-script.jar needed or full
  Sikuli IDE).

  The test could give hints for optimizations/corrections and notify
  about possible problems (with links to actual bugs/answers/faqs).
