I looked at this option a little bit a while back, and have only one
concern -- multiple threads trying to compile at the same time.  Ant tasks
generally assume that they don't need to worry about thread safety issues,
so we need to review this code carefully.  (Of course, this issue applies
even more so to the "new" Javac entry point in 1.4 -- it writes error
messages to System.out).
