In short: javac lacks the option -Xbootclasspath/p:

Our problem:

We are replacing some of the Java core by prepending a .jar file to
the bootclasspath:

java -Xbootclasspath/p:ourstuff.jar

javac does not have an -Xbootclasspath/p: option, the compiler exits with
an error message:

> javac -Xbootclasspath/p:ourstuff.jar
javac: invalid flag: -Xbootclasspath/p:ourstuff.jar

There is an option -bootclasspath in javac. This option is used to set
the *whole* bootclasspath.

  Touble is, in our case, we want to keep most of the vanilla bootclasspath
-- the bootclasspath that javac uses when called *without* the
-bootclasspath option set). As for now, we have to keep track of the
standard bootclasspath and add it "manually" to the option -bootclasspath,
after ourstuff.jar
