[Soot-list] Mavenized Jasmin

[Eric Bodden]

Hello.

Marc-Andre: Bruno and I discussed the jar-file issue a few days ago.
Our idea was just to commit the JARs that jasmin and Soot require into
a directory in Git. They do not change very frequently (in fact, they
will probably change never), so I wonder if that would not be
sufficient in our case.
