Which is fine. I have no problem with life being 'easier' ;) but ..
perhaps you can shed some light on something for me.

If externals are used in an edje file (let's just say something like the 
example external_emotion_elm.edc), where do those 'external' widgets 
come from ? If I use a part type: EXTERNAL with source: elm/button (just 
as an example), how does edje know to get that part from elm ? and how 
does that work wrt elm itself ? My understanding is that an elm_button 
would need the elm main loop running...and if that is the case, what 
happens when there are multiple elm externals being used ? Is that 
causing more than one elm main loop ?? ... Lots of questions wrt 
externals, and very little docs for it :(
