I like the idea, the changes in itself look good, but I really *really*
do not like the name "exploded". It was not good before as in
"exploded-image", but this is even worse. :-(
Can we pause this one for just a while and try really hard to come up
with a better name? If we fail to do that in a couple of days, I'll
admit defeat and accept the patch as it is. OK?
What about "local" image? "simple"? "quick"? "bare"?

In most cases, when running regression tests, you want to run them on
the jdk image because that's the correct image and some tests will not
work on other variants. However, many tests can be run successfully on
the exploded image and since building the full jdk image takes quite a
bit of extra time, especially when running a slowdebug build, enabling
this as an option can significantly improve developer efficiency.
I therefor propose the new target "exploded-run-test". It will work
just like run-test but it depends on and runs on the exploded image.
