Maven dependency

Hi, folks.

I recently set up JIST to use Maven:
  http://telstech.org/jist/

One of JIST's dependencies is SISC and it would be nice if it were in 
the Maven repository like so many other useful packages.
  http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/

This page suggests that it's pretty easy to upload JARs for inclusion in 
the repository:
  http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html

One catch is that Maven only handles JAR dependencies and SISC requires 
sisc.shp.  I think this should be okay with the sisc-heap.jar built by 
the "heap-jar" Ant target.

What I'm thinking is to follow those instructions and upload a 
"sisc-1.8.8.jar" that merges sisc.jar, sisc-lib.jar, sisc-opt.jar and 
sisc-heap.jar.  What do you guys think?

Incidentally, it would be even easier to make (and maintain) the 
repository submission if the project had a Maven POM.  It could also 
make the Debian package trivial using the deb plugin.
