Packaging bug in The Grinder 3.0 (affects TCPProxy only)

Unfortunately, the inevitable bug crept into the release.

The manifest in the grinder.jar is incorrect, and this means the
CLASSPATH is wrong for the TCPProxy. I'll fix this ASAP (expect a 3.0.1
tonight).

In the meantime, if you want to use the TCPProxy, please explicitly add
the picocontainer jar to your CLASSPATH. For example, instead of:

     java -classpath $GRINDER/lib/grinder.jar net.grinder.TCPProxy

use

     java -classpath
$GRINDER/lib/grinder.jar:$GRINDER/lib/picocontainer-1.3.jar
net.grinder.TCPProxy

instead.
