I've looked a bit further at this this evening.  Unfortunately,
although we get rid of the spurious .so files we generate pretty
easily (libdcpr.so and libjsoundhs.so), the import of the JMX stubs is
a little more complicated as we've 'abused' the plugs method for
adding NetX. Thus, we need to first make NetX part of the JDK build
via the overlays directory.  We can then turn on
IMPORT_BINARY_PLUGS=false :)
