Class protocol:

description
o  excludedFromPreRequisites
TestCase - superclass of RegressionTests::FTPClientTest

o  mandatoryPreRequisites
list all required mandatory packages.
Packages are mandatory, if they contain superclasses of the package's classes
or classes which are extended by this package.
This list can be maintained manually or (better) generated and
updated by scanning the superclass hierarchies
(the browser has a menu function for that)
However, often too much is found, and you may want to explicitely
exclude individual packages in the #excludedFromPreRequisites method.

o  referencedPreRequisites
list all packages containing classes referenced by the packages's members.
This list can be maintained manually or (better) generated and
updated by looking for global variable accesses
(the browser has a menu function for that)
However, often too much is found, and you may want to explicitely
exclude individual packages in the #excludedFromPreRequisites method.

o  subProjects
list packages which are known as subprojects.
The generated makefile will enter those and make there as well.
However: they are not forced to be loaded when a package is loaded;
for those, redefine requiredPrerequisites.

description - compilation
o  additionalDefinitions_bc_dot_mak

description - contents
o  classNamesAndAttributes

o  extensionMethodNames
