I'm sorry, I wasn't clear about what I said to put at the root.  Put
that whole pygments directory structure in the jar file.  If you're in
the directory with pygments in it, "jar cf pygments.jar pygments"
would do the trick.

The same holds for the compiled version.  compileall.py will put the
$py.class files in the proper place in that directory structure.  If
you make the jar after that, the compiled versions will be used in
preference to the source versions.
