email is fine.

It is enabled by adding --with-javafx-sdk=path to configure:

We already have a --with-javafx, with optional argument: --with-javafx=ARG.
The ARG is used to set WITH_JAVAFX_ARG, which was intended to be used
to specify the path the JavaFX, but doesn't seem to be used.
So probably we should use WITH_JAVAFX_ARG instead of WITH_JAVAFX_SDK_ARG.

The configure script might need to check that the ARG specified for
--with-javafx is for java 9 or later - i.e. modularized.
