[Soot-list] option to suppress inter-class analysis in Soot

[Jisheng Zhao]

Hi, Eric,
	Thanks for your information.
	We'd like to ask one more question: when the soot framework is  
booted, it will load some basic classes (e.g. java.lang.* ), as these  
classes have dependence related to other class, so the whole loading  
basic class process used to cost about 4~5 secs in our linux box. Can  
we just skip this process? Because we will not do any inter-classes  
(inter-procedural) analysis.
	 As this represents the major part of the time spent at compile time  
on small benchmarks. So we'd like to eliminate this (if this is  
redundant).  Please let use know what do you think.
	
	Thanks,
