Fine by me. The code is pretty clean by now and I guess people are using
it. Maybe remove the dependency on commons-logging and that's it. (I
think QDox is the only other dependency...?)

The code in Nanning looks quite a bit different but the only major
changes I've done are using the lower-level API of QDox, incremental
compilation and introducing a ClassAttributes-object (increases
performance by a factor of at least 10 by caching the lookups instead of
concatenating strings for each lookup).
