Confirmed and committed. Jeez! Me smack in the head!!! I did lots of
dependency analysis only to learn (from you) that that file is not
needed there. IIRC, it was needed at one point in the development, but
not anymore.

Anyway, I uncovered lots of cyclic dependencies along the way
and got rid of them, so I'd say my effort was not in vain. :P

Thanks for pointing it out!
