Title: Some changes so you can run the benchmark with current versions

* Changed akka version to 2.0.2
* Changed lift version to 2.4 final
* Added assembly sbt plugin, so yo ucan package your test project easily
* scala/AkkaActor.scala needed a new import to compile

And, could you run the akka and lift test? I run them on my mackbook pro and Lift gives me:

[lift] Count is 1200000000
[lift] Test took 5.049 seconds
[lift] Throughput=2376708.2590612 per sec

and akka gives me:

[akka] Count is 1200000000
[akka] Test took 7.324 seconds
[akka] Throughput=1638448.9350081922 per sec

So, unless I'm reading the numbers wrong, LiftActors are faster than akka. But I'd like someone else to run the tests to make sure (I used the assembly plugin to make a fat jar and I dropped it on a 2.0.2 akka deploy folder.

Thanks
