@Alan: thanks for the reply; didn't mean to disturb your Sunday.

Good, so my understanding of jlink was right. The case in point would not be a --module-path argument to Jython, so much as an application written in Python that expects to import packages from a module path given the JVM. We'd have to scan that, I assume, but not as we scan jrt.

I looked at the API Java 9 offers. However, I'm trying only to write code that still compiles on Java 7. In that sense, we are cross-targeting. I think this can wait until we no longer support pre-9 JVMs and the API can be used.
