You added it :)

I think we were sick in the head and for some reason decided to do
this instead of executable jars.  In hindsight, executable jars would
be sooo much better.  Especially with Dain's runtime trick to find the
jar in the classpath and use it to discover where the software was
installed (e.g. to find openejb.home).
