I think a script like this should be included with the Clojure download. It's seems to me that everyone needs one and currently has to write their own by copying example script code from the Getting Started page. Maybe we can't reach a concensus on everything the script should do, but providing a good, basic starting point would be useful. The basic features I would want include:
1) If I run "clj", it starts a REPL. 2) If I run "clj file-path", it runs that file as a Clojure script. 3) Some way to modify the classpath used by the script without modifying the script.
