I had a launch script (which I've now lost due to my own clumsiness)
that defaulted to a repl if given no file options, and always loaded a
.clojurerc.clj file before starting a repl (whether it was by default
or specifically asked via -r).  This allowed me to load repl-utils and
get *print-length* set up before getting a prompt.  But if a file was
named with now -r, it was run with no repl.  It used appropriate
combinations of clojure.lang.Repl or clojure.lang.Script and file
paths to make this happen.

As far as I can tell this is impossible with clojure.main, which
appears to only allow loading a file *or* starting a repl.  Am I
missing a method to support this, or should I go back to using
Script/Repl?

My script also accepted a -cp argument to augment any automatic or
default classpath it set up.  I found this useful when tracking down
gen-class issues, but I never had this nice symlink-dir setup, which
might very well be better.

I apologize for not speaking up earlier in clojure.main's development,
when such issues probably could have been addressed more easily.
