[Soot-list] access to original variable names

[Jasen Carrol]

Thanks Pat. Is that a command line option that you're
talking about (-p jb.use-original-names)? Because I'm
using the Soot API to create SootClasses rather than
the command line. So, I would like to know which Soot
Locals refer to the same Java variable by making some
API call.
