It seems that one should be able to build a package in a single directory
without applying a special CLASSPATH to get it to compile.  However, this
doesn't seem to be the case.

Consider a directory MyPkg which contains .java files for the classes
in MyPkg.  Seems like one should be able to:

	cd MyPkg
	javac MyClass.java

and have it work, for all files *.java which look like:

Package MyPkg

class MyClass {
}

All classes in MkPkg are automatically supposed to be imported.  
However, CLASSPATH must include ".." for this to work.
I was going to suggest that ".." be included in the default CLASSPATH,
but unfortunately this also gets you any other packages which happen to
be in "..", which is not particularly desireable.  Is there a way out
of this delimma?
