I am sorry if I insulted you. My above statements could have been
worded better, I think. However, the underpinning technical point,
which is that you can resolve the *build time* dependency fairly
trivially remains valid, and the problem of the dependency should not
drive the architecture of the project.
If you choose not to address my point, that's your choice, but I believe
other members (particularly Darren) have stated that you need to provide
a clear picture of what we are doing. I don't believe that a problem
building the software should drive the architecture of what we deliver
to customers, and I strongly suspect that I am not alone in that regard.
