First cut: java.lang.module, org.openjdk.jigsaw, jmod

[Jonathan Gibbons]

While short term use of jopt-simple is fine, longer term it would  
represent
a departure in style for our command line tools, to be using the GNU- 
style
--long-option style of options. I'm not saying that's a bad thing,  
just a decision
we should make deliberately.
