Re: SISC and Maven

I have made available the most recent snapshot of mavenized SISC at:

http://acolomba.chaosnet.org/sisc-mvn/sisc-mvn-2008-02-17.tar.gz

This version is based on SISC 1.17, and supports all the original SISC
targets, with two omissions:

1) I have not tested the PDF manual generation, even though I have
reproduced the original ant target as faithfully as possible. The
process depends on an external toolchain, and I would appreciate help
by somebody who has that already set-up (Scott?)

2) The debian packaging is not implemented yet.

I have added a BUILD file that lists the various maven goals to
compile/install, generate distribution files, etc. One hopefully
useful addition is two self-contained jars, for the lite and full
versions, so that SISC may be run with the "java -jar" option.

Any feedback would be welcome.

I should also thank Sergey Pariev for his help on getting the
assemblies up and running.
