We could change the patch to require veritical space (newline or cr) to 
separate filenames in an @filename - though that is not compatible with
the documentation for javac. We can also preserve the meaning of
@filename, but figure out some other way to handle multiple filenames
on the command line. The latter makes sense, as there is now generic
support for compiling multiple sources files in one cc1/cc1plus/...
executation, so we should re-think how this should be done.
