[Julien Nicoulaud <julien.nicoulaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I've started it in the branch (
https://code.launchpad.net/~julien-nicoulaud/syncany/maven). For now the
project compiles and generates an (unusable) assembly, the work is still in
progress but you can already see the structure (please stop me right here if
it's not OK). Only a few jars remain checked in version control.

Also, I will add the config for izpack so you can see how easy it is to
generate a cross-platform installer with Izpack+Maven.

Cheers,
Julien
