Subj : jsc feature request

This has probably been requested before, but I though since I found a
way to do it, I'd ask anyway.

What I would like to be able to do is specify what class/method should
be called by the main method in a class generated by jsc. The current
version of Codegen puts in a call to OptRuntime.main(Script,String[]).
However, if  line 501 of Codegen.java was changed  to instead get a
parameter (e.g. getScriptRuntimeClassName()) from it's CompilerEnv. The
class would of course have to have a method matching this signature:

public static void main(Script,String[])

and generateMain() in Codegen (starting @ line 487) would have to be
made non-static (that change doesn't break anything during compile).

A parameter could be added to jsc (e.g. "-runtime") that would allow
the user to specify the class containing the above method.

I've already made the above changes to my version of the sources, if
this seems like a good idea, I can send my changed versions to whoever
is interested.
