 * Provides a means to display and add to the system classpath at runtime.
 * If called with no arguments, the classpath is displayed.  Otherwise, each

 * paths will be resolved relative to the directory in which the nailgun server
 * is running.  This is very likely to change in the future.
 * 
 * This is aliased by default to the command "ng-cp".
