JDK-6900037 - javac should warn if earlier -source is used and bootclasspath not set
Description
There are two categories of lint warnings under consideration:

-- reporting use of static variable or method qualified by an expression instead of a type
-- reporting suspicious combinations of command line options, such as -source without setting a bootclasspath

These should be covered by new suboptions for lint, such as
	-Xlint:static
	-Xlint:options
