O, I reread various posts and it appears this is his plan.  I
cannot find a single class that actually uses this mechanism yet in
Classpath however.  This does seem to mean we can just debug parts of
classpath as opposed to everything.  Thanks for clearing this up.  I'd
like to make sure we put in some file every debug property and what is
used to debug as they are invented.  Is that ok?
