      Since version 1.2 Javac supports undocumented -Xjcov option.
      Up to version 1.3 this option made Javac generate class file
      attributes specific to Java Code Coverage Tool (JCov). But since
      version 1.4 this option makes Javac generate new CharacterRangeTable
      attribute which is quite general-purpose and is not JCov-specific at all.

      So, it would be good to rename this option, so that it does not
      refer to JCov any more (maybe to -Xcrt, ...).
