How to disable demos

[Ioi Lam]

Hi Erik,

I need to build image and I do this quite often. On Windows, make demos 
takes a minute or so on a fast machine. It's not too long, but still 
kind of annoying.

I will try to save a copy of the various demos output and do something like

make jdk; unzip -D ../demos.zip; make images
