[Soot-list] Mavenized Jasmin

[Marc-Andre Laverdiere-Papineau]

Hello,

One of the nice things about Maven is how easy it is to get started. 
Instead of "download this thing, and we have those deps that we can't 
bundle", it becomes a few lines of XML and the Maven infrastructure 
handles it.

Another nice benefit is that it means that we don't need to maintain a 
bunch of Jars in the git repo, or having to ask others to download them. 
It also lowers the risk of someone downloading a wrong version of a 
dependency that is incompatible, etc.

Overall, considering your comments, I would suggest to keep the ant 
build as it is, but to add some Ivy glue to it. Best of both worlds :)
