the flag is -use-runtime

Subject: Re: Reusing bindings from previous xjc run
one suggestion (don't know if it actually works, but it's close to
something we're doing ourselves): when compiling schema B, tell XJC to
use the runtime for A in A's jar (there's an xjc flag something like
'use runtime foo' or some such).
