Erik Joelsson is working on the changes to build JDK 10 with JDK 9 as 
the boot JDK. I assume he will bring these to build-dev to 
review/discuss at some point. For jrtfs then we still work through all 
the combinations of JDK X <--> JDK Y to ensure tools on JDK N can 
examine the classes/resources in a JDK 10 run-time image.
