I still think treating warnings differently to other VM output is not 
necessarily the right way to go here.

Further I'm concerned that the real problem here is that we shouldn't be 
issuing warnings for the now obsolete PermGen flags. Whether the warning 
goes to stderr or stdout it is new noise that might impact people's 
development/build environments.

So while this fix will address the immediate javac problem, and can be 
considered Reviewed, I suspect we will have to revisit this.
