rmic -d option is unclear in the doc

The feedback is from JDK 1.2 EA customer:

    The command "rmic -d . foo.MyRemObj", will put the derive
    files where I want them, into the foo directory. But
    "rmic foo.MyRemObj" does not. This is confusing, since the rmic
    documentation says about the -d flag:

    Specifies the root directory of the class hierarchy. If
    ommitted, the root defaults to the current directory.

    I read this to mean that omitting "-d" is equivalent to
    specifying "-d .".

    If I am misreading the rmic documentation, then chances are
    that others will to, so maybe this point (omitting -d being
    different from specifying -d .) should be explicitly stated
    in the documentation.
