slf4j dependency and scalax.logging

From the build.xml:

<pathelement location="${user.home}/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.5.0/slf4j-api-1.5.0.jar"/>

scalax.logging depends on slf4j. In particular, it depends on you
having gotten it from maven. This seems wildly inappropriate to me.

a) I was under the impression that scalax core was intended to not
have external dependencies.
b) Implicitly requiring maven behaviour for the ant buildfile is just
wrong. If you want a dependency and don't want to use an integrated
dependency manager within scalax (whether it's maven, ivy, some hacked
together replacement, whatever), it needs to be in the source
repository.

Additionally, it breaks the makefile because it doesn't include this
dependency in the build.
