Perhaps we could include even the build options that automatically had 
their default values set?  So, even if the user had not explicitly 
stated "--enable-jni", we would still include "--enable-jni", since 
it's the default?

I'm trying to guard against the defaults possibly changing.  If we 
were to, for example, one day make Classpath's default be 
--enable-portable-native-sync, I'd still want Jikes RVM to correctly 
read that the Classpath installation had that feature enabled.
