root cause of remaining javadoc failures

Werner,

I have tracked down the root cause of the remaining javadoc failures.

Although TypeVariableSymbol implements methods like 
getAnnotationMirrors, I don't think its type field gets set to an 
AnnotatedType. Therefore, when javadoc uses Type.isAnnotated(), it gets 
a "false" result, causing javadoc to believe there are no annotations on 
the type parameter.

How hard will it be to update the type field on a TypeVariableSymbol, 
once you have determined there are annotations present on the declaration?
