The 'package_class' reference is supposed to be a OI2::App class rather 
than a OI2::Brick class. (I'll update the docs to clarify.) The 
'package_class' functionality was implemented for the 
CPAN-distributable packages rather than using the bricks directly -- 
the difference is that CPAN-distributable packages have the .pm files 
outside the brick and that everything in the brick is stored as-is.

But it makes some sense to make this available -- particularly since 
we'll need to distribute updates to the core packages -- so I'll add a 
'--brick_class' to the package installer.
