Hi Magnus,
this is nice. I would like a clearer naming though, that single dash
is easily overlooked. How about --without-jvm-features instead?
This is not possible. --without-X is internally replaced by autoconf to
"--with-X=no". "--without-X=foo" is a syntax error (or more, technically
correct, an attempt to run "--with-X=foo=no").
I could of course do something like "--with-disabled-jvm-features=foo"
instead, but I do not think that is much better. A quick internal poll
(with Erik and some guys working on the upcoming individual GC
selection, which prompted this fix) gave the current solution as a clear
favorite.
A compromise is to keep the currently suggested functionality, and
*also* add a "--with-disabled-jvm-features=foo", which I would then
treat as "--with-jvm-features=-foo". Is that something you'd like to
request?

It is currently easy to add new JVM features to the JVM build, but it is not
possible to remove features.
With this change, features can be both added or removed from the default
set. They are added using --with-jvm-features=f1,f2 and removed using
--with-jvm-features=-f1,-f2. The syntax can be combined, so
--with-jvm-features=dtrace,-nmt will enable dtrace but disable native memory
tracking.
I also included some additional code cleanup and fixes, such as printing the
JVM feature set at the summary.
