Hi!

Wanted to let you know that i've decided to tackle the problem of removing
activesupport dependency from the firewatir myself since i've fed up by
Charlie's (non-)actions about that thing so far. I have seen such a behavior
before in my life and i wanted to let everyone know that this kind of
behavior is not tolerable to everyone else. I have one good suggestion to
Charlie and everyone else reading - don't give any promises when it's
obvious that you're not going to fulfill them within reasonable time - know
when to give up and delegate things to someone else and don't be afraid to
acknowledge your mis-calculations or whatever reasons, otherwise you're just
an irritating person, who is causing possible anger and will lose respect
against yourself. It has been literally months from the moment when Charlie
said that he's going to remove the dependency until today. I have asked and
reminded him about that issue more than once in public and in
private. Visible results are nowhere to seen. I'm feeling that my harsh
approach is justified here. I'm sorry if someone feels otherwise.

I hope that the dependency got correctly removed once and for all - at least
all the tests are green when running `rake test_firewatir`. Please review my
commits for some possible things i've forgotten or not noticed.

If they're OK, then i'd like to proceed with releasing 1.8.0 to allow to use
FireWatir with Rails 3.

No hard feelings!
