Yes.  I know.  I am going to try a hack that does
sourcefiles="*.java"... or something.

I mean this is why packages exist right.  Let use them.  Honestly if
another .java file poped up with no package we would -1 it in a second.

Nope.  Not anymore.  We require a initialization parameter! :)  This
means they *have* to alias it!  At least in JServ  and Turbine. 
Honestly a Servlet Engine will never really be user friendly.  If they
alias it they will probably come up with another name anyway.  Something
like say... oh... "jetspeed" or "turbine" ? 

So any other reason.  I am like -0.2 on this... not a full one yet :)
