On current debians (I just tried sid) and Ubuntus there is the no
classpath set in the system junit jar that also does not contain
hamcrest. Since this problem is widespread: How about checking, if
either:

 - the jar sets an classpath in the manifest
 - the jar contains hamcrest

and complain explicitly
"your junit jar neither sets a classpath nor includes hamcrest --
please provide a full junit jar or use --without-junit"
if neither is the case. This also helps people making the right choice
with the upstream jars, where both (including hamcrest and excluding
hamcrest) are available.

Doing this little additional testing might prevent some newcomers to
run away screaming (it might not be the first issue they hit on their
first build).

Best,

Bjoern
