Building/distributing more than one VM in a single JDK distribution

[Chris Plummer]

I just wanted note that the point of minimal isn't just reduced disk 
footprint, but also reduced memory footprint (while sacrificing some 
performance and functionality), so in that regard there could be some 
use for having both available in the same build. But I don't feel this 
flexibility is important enough to warrant the increased build 
complexity, so I'm ok with removing support for it.
