make guice annotations a separate build artifact

[GoogleCodeExporter]

it would be nice we had:

guice-annotations.jar
guice-injector.jar

so that i only have to link to guice-annotations.jar to compile without the
injector

I believe the public interfaces should be in that jar as well.

We really need this separation. Adding the annotations to libraries will be far 
more
acceptable.

But keep the jar as small as possible. If you want to publish the public 
interfaces
create a third jar instead.

Would you care to submit a patch (for our build.xml) ? The minimal .jar should 
contain these classes:
@BindingAnnotation 
@ImplementedBy 
@Inject 
@ProvidedBy 
@ScopeAnnotation 
@Singleton
@Named
Provider

I can make this patch, but what about name?

Is guice-support.jar ok?

Guice 2.1 will support JSR330, which provides all necessary interfaces, 
annotations &
classes in the javax.inject namespace.
