Re: Running groovy programs

I wonder if the 'groovy' executable could be smart enough to detect: if I
am running src/pkg1/main.groovy and there's "package pkg1" in that script
that we need to add src/ to classpath.
But I guess for that groovy would have to compile it first so it's a
chicken and egg problem
