That wasn't the bug in this particular case. But I appreciate you
pointing the problem out, because when I first started with this
Snippet1.java from the SWT website it did have a package statement and
I did have exactly that problem.

When I ran into that bug I was totally stumped until someone on IRC
helped me figure out the problem.

If someone could come up with a more helpful error message in this
case, that would be really appreciated.

Shouldn't the compiler be able to notice that when I pass
--main=Snippet1 that there's no such class? And then it could error
out with something like:

	Error: No class Snippet1 found for --main.
	(Perhaps Snippet1 exists in some.package.Snippet1 ?)
