I don't have a strong opinion about the name, only the target RC field 
in question is called "CompanyName", and this new option would only be 
used to set this property, so referencing to this instead of the term 
"vendor" made maybe more sense to me.

I can't find any references to an existing "--with-jdk-vendor-name" so I 
assume than you meant "--wtih-vendor-name", is that correct?

If so, yes; "--with-vendor-name" would still be used for the same things 
than it currently is, with the exception of populating the "CompanyName" 
RC field *if* "--with-jdk-rc-vendor/company-name" is also used.
