dependencies between pieces of beehive

[Richard Feit]

I think it would help Beehive adoption to be able to say, "the pieces of 
beehive work really well together, but each can be used independently."  
Spring does a great job at this -- it's consistent across the framework, 
but it's very modular.  Beehive is *almost* in the same boat, with just 
a few hard dependencies (that I'm aware of), and I think it would be 
great to take it the last few steps towards modularity.

Thoughts?
