Hi, all!

Let's take a look on common case - installation of w3af on Debian 
(current stable 6.0 Squeeze) or even Ubuntu.

1. svn export trunk version of w3af
2. ./w3af_console ...see absent dependencies
3. Ok, sudo aptitude install python-nltk python-soappy python-pyopenssl 
python-lxml python-svn python-scapy
4. Try ./w3af_console again. See absent nltk module and there is no such 
module in Debian repository which is the most big repository among Linux 
distros. Same case with pybloomfiltermmap.

What I want to say is do we plan to reduce hard dependencies for w3af 
and make possible to use w3af on every Linux distro without installing a 
really big number of dependencies? Especially those dependencies which 
can't be installed on distro native way (apt/yum/...). Yes, I know that 
there are a lot of really useful Python 3rd party modules but
I have a lot of life examples when people said "Hmm, I don't want to 
install such big number dependencies and especially not from official 
repository to run this scanner".

What do you think about it?
