Good to see this fixed. I wonder about the usage message for -verify :
    "Reports on any .class entries that don't verify as classes"

"verify" isn't clear here, one might thing it runs the verifier when all 
it does is check that each class resource has the 0xCAFEBABE magic 
number. Instead of changing the usage message then what would you think 
about changing the implementation to work like the VerifyJImage test? 
Separate issue of course but I suspect it might be more useful. We could 
even think about having it be run in the build.
