d'oh!  my apologies, nathan, i had forgotten about this.  i did not mean to
neglect it.

however, upon reconsideration, i don't believe there is really a place for
this tool among the GenericTools.   this is not because of any fault or lack
of usefulness in the code, but rather, because commons-lang already provides a
utility (which can be directly used as a tool) that does most of what your
ClassTool does.

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang/ClassUtils.html

so far, it has been a defacto policy to avoid duplicating functionality easily
available in commons packages.  i have similarly turned down a number of
suggestions for a StringTool because of the existence of commons-lang's
StringUtils.  still, thank you again for the contribution.  even just having
it and the list discussion about it archived will be a help for people needing
these functions.
