FWIW, we don't actually add any 1.6 switches.  The 1.6 switches were
always being passed due to my earlier changeset:

6873059: Explicitly use -source 6 -target 6 when compiling with the boot jdk
Summary: The build fails if the bootstrap JDK defaults to <1.5
Reviewed-by: jcoomes

and 1.4 options were being used locally in sa.make to override this.

On the copyright update, it wasn't something I thought of and
changesets with those copyright updates mixed in tend to be a pain to
backport.  IMHO, a better approach would be to do regular automated
runs like I believe Kelly did around the turn of the year, doing the
updates in one designated changeset.
