The package name changed.  Its edu.utah.janos.nodeos.FlowClassLoader.
I'll fix the comment.

You shouldn't have to change the FlowClassSpec unless you're adding
new "system" packages.  The ClassLoader goo was a real pain to debug
before the ANTS release (esp. in conjunction with the ANETD loader).
But, it should all be working right.  I can dig up my notes on how it
was all supposed to work, if you'd like.  If I remember correctly, one 
key is to upload all of the applications (even if they're "default"
ones).  E.g., scripts/anetd/pong-dante.start uploads the Dante App,
the dynamic route app, and the ping app.

      That which does not kill you just didn't try hard enough.
