 Review comment:
   Yes, the agent needs all dependencies in its JAR, or on bootstrap classpath. I am afraid that cutting down the bundled library size would be painful: the ASM is actually used to inject `<classinit>` into user code so that the agent gets a reference to a `ClassLoader` that loaded the particular class of interest. Since I need to inspect the class contents and actually generate bytecode, most of the packages are IMHO used; maybe we can save `tree.analysis`.
   
   The classloader can be later reach the class by name. This is useful for more arcane environments with custom classloaders (e.g. NetBeans itself ;))
