I don't think we want to get into mapping package names. Instead the 
right thing would be to re-visit those places where it was previously 
necessary to incorporate third party libraries to see if they make sense 
as modules now.

It's doesn't make sense in module mode because the boot class path goes 
away. Once we have the modulepath support in then it should make it easy 
without needing to installing a module.
