It's also useful to know that when any "-Nlevel" option is used, lint
actually runs a completely different program -- it execs
prod/bin/lint2n (the "new" lint) instead of prod/bin/lint2 (the "old"
lint).

As it's a different implementation, it tends to behave differently in
some cases.  The bulk of the ON code base has been designed for
'lint2'.  It'd be nice to make it work as well with lint2n, but I
don't think anyone's doing that yet.
