added static build and ability to get an existing jvm pointer #152

This makes it easy to embed jpy in an existing java/jni project.

Chiefly, the two changes are the building of a static library and JPy_get_jvm function which would use the JNI call to retrieve the existing JVM pointer.

@forman: Also, would having this merged open the door to being able to delete and reload the JVM?

@udnaan: Do you propose to make the change requested by @forman?

I'm okay with it as it seems an isolated enough change. I just can't guarantee that it works as I haven't tested it nor will have time for a few weeks to do so.
