Re: New impl. of method call analysis

[Ondrej Lhotak <olhotak@sable.mcgill.ca>]

The new call graph interface and code is mostly documented in two
places:

1) The PLDI03 tutorial that comes with the tutorials in the Soot
distribution, and on-line at http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/tutorial/,
contains a section on the call graph, and is a recommended read in
general for anyone upgrading to Soot 2.x.

2) The code itself has Javadoc comments.
