In fact it is the idea of Zend Framework, that you must never use all
components of it, but instead you can use single components without the
others (as long as they don't dependend on eachother).
However, I would you suggest in any case that you use ZF's front
controller with it's MVC abilities as base, as it simplifies lots of
stuff without requiring you extensive learning.
