JDK9 Modules

[Malachi de Ælfweald]

I notice that with 9-ea+125-2016-07-06-073258.javare.5251.nc, this works:
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM --add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED

With a slightly newer 9-ea+126 from webupd8, it causes:
Unrecognized option: --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM

Do we need to ask that the WebUpd8 team build with a slightly different
command line?
