To my knowledge no one has developped any points-to analyses using Soot.
There are a number of interprocedural analyses but there aren't a lot of
flow-sensitive ones available.

I don't have time to develop points-to analysis for Soot at the moment.
It certainly seems nontrivial.  If you are willing to develop it I would
be happy to offer advice.
