I don't object to a --with-vm configure option in principle, it could be
useful to build classpath for a specific environment. But I do object to
encoding specific knowledge about particular VMs in our tree. We did
this in the past and it wasn't a success. (See the kaffe, orp and japhar
bits and pieces that have been rotting in the tree because we don't
maintain them anymore and/or the vm makers lost interest.)
Please revert this and discuss the general idea and how it should work
on the list first. The argument for the --with-vm option should probably
be a directory location or file that comes with the vm
sources/installation describing specific optimizations for that
environment.
Thanks,
Mark
