/**
 * JarRunner initializes sys (PySystemState), passing args in (including the
 * name "__run__" as arg 0 for consistancy with Python expectations), and
 * import __run__.  It is intended to be used to allow an application jarred up
 * with Jython's runtime to run like "java -jar foo.jar".  It requires a
 * __run__.py in the jar that will execute the program, and the following entry
 * in the manifest:
 *
 * Main-Class: org.python.util.JarRunner
 *
 * XXX: For the moment it should be considered experimental, but it is simple
 * enough that I expect to be able to remove this warning pretty quickly.
