Man this drives me nuts.  That�s why I didn't want to use forrest.  Lessons
learned from Centipede: the more dependencies your build has the more often
it breaks.  $20 says they never really make it to 1.0.

You wonder why I constantly ask "do we need this dependency" when someone
tries it?  Because its a PAIN IN THE BUTT to manage dependencies.  Every
dependency adds a brittle link.  I like POI to stay simple and layer the
dependencies on top of it rather than under it.
