Use xquery.parseFile(port, immediate, messages)
to get a Compilation.  ('immediate' can be true or
false, depending on what makes most sense for you.
I don't off-hand remember exactly what it does.)
Then with the Compilation you can (for example) pass
it to the static ModuleExp.evalToClass to get a Class,
or modify evalToClass as you need.
