Hi,

I have pushed in the branch, the build now generates a working assembly, you
can test it this way:
   bzr branch lp:~julien-nicoulaud/syncany/maven
   cd syncany/syncany
   mvn clean install
   syncany-assemblies/target/syncany-*-assembly/syncany-*/bin/syncany.sh

Tell me what you think !

Cheers,
Julien
