Hi Christoph,

Thank you for the reminder on this.

I took a look at the 20151015 release and so far it appears that we only 
need to package one additional reverse dependency - "truth" 
(http://google.github.io/truth).  We may also take advantage of this 
opportunity to switch from ant to the maven-based build system.  I'll 
try to get the new r-dep packaged this weekend and then see how quickly 
we can get the rest of it ready to go.

Cheers,
tony
