I reminded myself today that the build tool to augment module 
declarations from .extra files doesn't work for `requires`. So while it 
might help then I assume the generated module-info.java is incomplete 
for platforms that do support SA. These tools are begging to be 
refactored but from Dmitry's mail then it sounds like the split will 
take time. We might have to refactor them to use services or as a very 
short term workaround then we can build their launchers with `-addmods 
ALL-SYSTEM`.
