    _______________________________________________________

Details:

I have updated to OpenJDK 9 on Debian, and building Octave now results in the
following errors


error: Source option 1.3 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.
error: Target option 1.3 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.


I think the options should simply be dropped at this point, I'll post on the
maintainers list to ask for feedback on the slightly bigger issue.
