I thought about this (making a parent class loader that handles the binary
classes, and making a child that handles the interpreted ones) but I wasn't sure
what the semantic consequences would be. So, I am currently testing a patch to
URLClassloader which delays the initialization of the protocol handlers until
after the class loader is completely constructed. this has the side effect of
moving the mutex locking to runtime instead of init time, but it shouldn't be
too bad.
