So added a finder for searching for classes that have a specific

the code i've seen that does the same, but... I still hate it as
like all the approaches I've seen it loads the classes and uses
reflection to determine if the annotation is present.
This is the most insecure code I can think of, so I'm yanking it in
leu of an asm-based approach. So take this as your warning not to
start consuming the ClassFinder just yet.
Done. It's now ASM-based and you can lookup any of the following
annotated things:
- Packages
- Classes
- Constructors
- Methods
- Fields
Reflection does not occur till you ask for a set of classes that have
the annotation you require. The loaded classes are then kept for
future use.
