Personally I disagree with you. Even though few applications can still
not work without the hal rdepends, some uses hal but not in a really
non dependant way and the split allows a finner selection where to
include or not it.
This allows also distros to select and change it by package.

I'm rebasing the branch against final repository and I'll send a
patchset for acking here before pushing it. I guess I can send those
patches later today and push it tomorrow if someone acks it before
that.
My idea is to split the patches in:
- xfce-refactor-branch
where the inc files are droped and the packaging improved
- xfce-4.2-branch
new version
There're also a number of fixes that I'll be sending here for review
and pushing together.
