Headline: dependency checking class loader
Description: Implement a ClassLoader for use by chimera that can check header fields in the MANIFEST.MF to detect missing .jar files, or incompatible/out-of-date .jar files.

When an API changes in one of the .jar files requiring changes in other .jar files, this can be indedicated in dependency information in the manifest.  The ChimeraClassLoader could use this to detect that the user is trying to use .jar files that are incompatible with each other.

Severity: Minor
Functional Area: chimera
Status: New
