I just meant while reading the Class-Path entries of the jar files,
keep track of where you've been and don't revisit.  Then at the end
you will have a unique-ified list that you keep.  Is this what you
meant?  I couldn't tell from what you wrote if you meant you would do
the check when looking up a class or resource -- I would expect that
to be too expensive.
