In fact, it would be nice if there was just one configure flag to select
which runtime vms to include. Wouldn't it be possible to just have
something like --with-vms=client,server,tiered,cacao,jamvm,zero,shark
where each is optional and the default would depend on architecture,
defaulting to client and/or server?
