[Soot-list] Jimple optimizations before Shimple transformation

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Daniel.

I think you could apply the transformations you need within a
ScenTransformer that you stick into the wspp ("Whole-Shimple
Pre-processing Pack") pack. That one should run before the other
shimple transformations.

Cheers,
Eric
