Introducing Guava dependency

Hi guys,

I'm introducing a dependency to Google Guava for NPanday 1.5.0.

Why? Because I'd like to write more modern and expressive code ;-)
Although we have some references to apache-commons-exec and -io it has not been used consistently.

I think, writing things like "if (x != null && !"".equals(x)) {} ... " is just not appropriate for these days.

Any objections?
