Use JUEL for expressions

A few weeks ago, I contributed a quick-and-dirty expressions
implementation, which Kevin then moved to
org.apache.shindig.expressions.

This EL implementation only supports the "." operator, which was fine
for getting started with data pipelining but very limiting.  There's
an existing JUEL library (http://juel.sourceforge.net/) with an Apache
2.0 license and a Maven deployment on ibiblio that appears to support
all the syntax we need and more.  Any objections to scrapping the
existing implementation and switching to YUEL?  Or alternative
recommendations?

+1 makes sense to me, to switch over to a more complete one.
