This would seem to violate the principle of least surprise.  If we're
able to determine that a component that isn't part of the default
runtime is missing, it's better to emit a useful message instead of a
traceback.

When Shawn and I had this converstion, I'm not sure we had finalized how
CherryPy was being delivered.  My concern was that users/developers
would get the depot independently of CherryPy and that there would be
the potential for missing components and version mismatches.
