-This fork includes some additional features:
-- null-pointer detection that removes spurious CFG edges.
-- it includes the code for a dalivk bytecode frontend copied and integrated from <a href="https://github.com/SCanDroid/SCanDroid">github.com/SCanDroid/SCanDroid</a>.
-- configuration/property files are loaded from current directory, with an automatic fallback to load from .jar.
