Yuck!  Forcing each class or define into its own file sucks royally.
No sane person wants their code organized like that.

The cure is in this case worse, *much* worse, than the illness of having
to do explicit imports.  I'd rather have two dozen import lines in site.pp
(which is what I have now) than having to split my classes and defines into
almost 200 files in two dozen directories.
