Just catching up from yesterday.

For the minimal runtime at step 2 then do you see this as a minimal 
legacy or module runtime? Just thinking about legacy mode being 
implemented with a jdk.legacy module under the covers.

Also at 3a then I'm curious about compiling in classpath mode rather 
than modulepath.
