There isn't any at the moment. The --package option is currectly most
usefull when using the --deep option. That way the compiler knows that
module "c" is in fact found as com.MurkWorks.FTPD.c. When you try to use

  from com.MurkWorks.FTPD.c import C

you are hit by the problem that python modules can't be found as java
classes in simple directories, only as modules in python packages (a
directory with an __init__ module).
