JDK-9008238 Non-orthogonal usage of the configure script and its wrapper

[Dave Pointon]

Hi all ,

Having encountered the above and implemented a/the trivial solution, I
would appreciate your guidance as to the next steps.

I believe, as I said in the bug, that this would lead to an overall
improvement in the usability - especially for the newbie user/builder
such as myself.

PFA a webrev for your perusal - the diff can also be found in the above
bug.

TIA & rgds ,
