This particular class contains methods that are will not be called if
certain other classes are not found. It's part of the database layer
that works with Oracle, DB2, Derby, etc. It has dependencies on each
of those specific libs but at runtime works fine because the methods
containing them will never be called.

But besides that it seems to me it would be convenient when compiling
large systems with a large number of dependencies to simply ignore
class not founds. It should be a warning, not a quit and restore.

I understand that BCEL, ASM and other bytecode libs prefer to have the
entire transitive closure of classes but strictly speaking that isn't
necessary to make modifications.
