We just need a documentation update here? No?

> In the ref guide (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#build.snappy), it says to build snappy by passing -Dsnappy. Something's wrong here, because:
> 1. this causes the build to fail because the hadoop-snappy tar artifact can't be found by maven
> 2. the snappy classes are already included in hadoop 1.0, so using the snappy profile is unnecessary
> It would be great if someone who knows when/why to use the snappy profile could fix the instructions (and fix the POM if necessary).
