Hm.  If compiling with --module-static, then the class is made Runnable,
and the run method should be called when the module is require'd
or import'ed.  Does it not work - even after you've confirmed
that run is called?  (For example add a visible action at module
level, and confirm it is done.)

My gut feeling is that --module-static should also work *assuming*
run has been executed.
