We have deprecated a number of flags:

// -Xoss, -Xsqnopause, -Xoptimize, -Xboundthreads, -Xusealtsigs

so they are ignored. But we still allow the user to specify them - and 
they will get a warning that it is deprecated and being ignored.

But these flags should no longer be documented. The deprecation 
is/will-be listed in the release notes.
