Doesn't seem to set the -Xbootclasspath on the javac command :-(

There is also an apparent inconsistency:  bootClasspath is in options
for compileJava but directly on test, there is no
test.options.bootClasspath.  

Also the Compile.getOptions method returns a CompileOptions instance
which is not documented in the API.  This makes it impossible to
experiment and discover what may or may not work.  If the expectation is
for advanced users to work out stuff, then the documentation should
support them -- I do not think it is appropriate to say "read the source
code".  I wonder therefore if all classes should be documented, even the
private ones.

Grumpiness due to frustration nothing more.
