It may include many standard/JDK modules that aren't in the image. In addition we'll need some way to grant native access at link-time.

Not sure if I know enough to do the pruning, so I was hoping that could be done separately (I'd file a bug as Alan suggests). But I can try to prune the list, if you prefer.
