This one may be significant enough to me to justify a configure option. 
On the other hand, "make images profiles" would mean all the resulting 
images (JDK, JRE, and Compact Profiles) would either all have/not the 
parameter names.

Alex's original mail brought up the embedded case but I could imagine 
having the same discussion on JDK vs JRE images. I'm not saying this is 
the right thing to do, esp. as it would mean usages of core reflection 
would behave differently, just bringing it up as a slightly different 
case to consider.
