Hey, this is exactly the email I sent when I got back into the code
base! ;)

Indeed when I came it looked like api/ dependended on coverage, which
was even worse than referencing.  In my analysis I found that it was
Factory in referencing that we were depending on.  See:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9019374&forum_id=3008
(can we get geotools on gmane or nabble?  Sourceforge sucks for pointing
at a specific message, and indeed for searching).

I said we should get Factory to a place where they can share, Martin's
point, which I'd say I agree with, is that an API only module shouldn't
be depending on Factories.  I think we have DataStoreFactorySpi, which
we could probably take out of api?  And then FunctionExpression extends
Factory, which I don't really understand and _you_ may actually have to
explain, James ;)  (you're author on it, though someone else may have
done the factory thing)
