      A link like:
          {@link java.lang.Class#getSigners Class.getSigners}
      when used in external-to-the-JDK sources and the javadoc option:
          -link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api
      generates a warning like:

      javadoc: warning - CheckedTrustVerifier.html: Tag @link: Class or Package not found: java.lang.Class#getSigners
       Class.getSigners

      This warning is new post b65. It is both confusing (it talks about a class or package not being found but shows a method), and highly undesirable (it should be legal to have such @links even if the stddoclet cannot generate hrefs for them). [Although I don't really understand why the stddoclet can't generate them.]
