If you're worried about the size of the JAR, let's kill legacy DevMode 
instead ;-)
(Google possibly even has the patch ready, as IIRC they already removed it 
in their internal repository)
Let's keep it simple and just ship it inside the gwt-dev JAR; our other 
repackaged dependencies are in there already (protocol buffer, 
streamhtmlparser, GSS, Guava, jscomp –for sourcemaps–, etc.)
