The getConstructor call doesn't have any comments about mapping Boolean.class 
to boolean args, so I used boolean.class.  However, when calling newInstance, 
you do have to wrap a boolean in a Boolean.  The sun docs never really talk 
about how ambiguity between boolean and Boolean are called.

BTW, I just checked and boolean.class is the right thing to use in 
getConstructor according sun java.
