Description

Using the task:

<groovyc srcdir="." destdir=".">
  <javac source="1.6" target="1.6" debug="on">
    <compilerarg value="-Xlint"/>
  </javac>
</groovyc>

works, but the -Xlint option is not passed to the javac call of the joint compilation. Using this where the Java containes an unchecked exception that is not suppressed leads to a message such as:

[groovyc] Note: XXXXXX uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
[groovyc] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

just as is the case without the -Xlint option.
