[ome-devel] importer installation

[Josiah Johnston]

A lot of times when I have that problem, it's because I forgot to 
change the name of the package inside of the file. You might want to 
make sure you have
	package OME::ImportEngine::BMPreader;
rather than
	package OME::ImportEngine:: TIFFreader;
at the top of the file.

A shot in the dark.
