[Soot-list] Load class from jar

[Eric Bodden]

There are two different classpaths: (1) the classpath that Soot uses
to run, which you set with your JVM's -cp parameter, and (2) Soot's
classpath, which it uses to analyze programs, and which you set using
*Soot's* -cp parameter. It seems like you have to put your
sootclasses.jar on the latter.
