This would mean searching every sub-directory of every classpath entry (i.e.
jars and folders)

This will have a performance impact on the startup time of wicket - how
large - I dunno - someone cart to implement and profile ?

If the performance hit is insignificant - I think this is the better way to
do it.  Although - why not name the file ComponentClassName.wicket :)

Cheers,

Cameron.
