This hard dependency is gone again in the HEAD. You will not be able to 
take advantage of the new XSLT renderers without it though. (duh!) Also 
in addition to the 'Images On Right' renderer, which is kind of a toy 
thing, there is now a 'Basic Html (New Version)' which does exactly the 
same as the widget rendering system, but using XSLT.
