Paddle is maintained separately from Soot, in a repository available at
https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/paddle
It has its own ant build.xml file. It is still being developed, and has
not yet been packaged up as a release.

Soot itself contains only hooks to call into Paddle. These hooks require 
Paddle to have been built and to be on the classpath. If it is, it can
be enabled with "-p cg.paddle on".

The files in generated/jedd in the Soot repository are outdated
files left over from the Paddle build process, which are in the Soot
repository in error. I have removed them in revision 1983.
