[Glass] load filetree package from directory

[Dale Henrichs]

Okay to load a package using a filetree repo without version info this is
working for me (at least I get errors about missing classes :) ):

I am using an image with tODE installed against a 3.6.3 image, but I
wouldn't expect the behavior of Gofer to have changed that much between
3.6.3 and 3.6.8 ...

If this doesn't help then perhaps some more info about what image you are
using will help us get to the bottom of this ...
