during off-list discussion w/ Roland, we found a few missed vm flags in ctw.sh which cause slowness and a crash. [1] adds them and also fix find command in makefile file. Roland gave "new" ctw a spin and is happy w/ it, so unless someone else raises concerns by the end of this week, I'll proceed w/ removing CompileTheWorld.

for the record, the latest whole webrev is [2]. 

Thanks,
-- Igor
