Getting busy with the Ubercode.Not Kulvik

@lyle and ryan: I totally agree that eliminating dependencies is a good and needed thing. However, I disagree about doing it for the 1.0 release on D6.

It takes time to re-write uc_core modules to eliminate these dependencies. They also require contribs to eliminate these dependencies. The more changes you make to the 6.x-1.0 release, the less likely it'll work without new bugs popping up, causing it to not be released within a timely fashion.

With the dependencies either working on D6 now, or in beta testing, I don't see a problem with making these dependencies work. It'll take a lot less time to make these modules work in D6 than it will be to rebuild new internal modules to take their place. I'm hoping to get workflow_ng finished tonight so I can start testing ubercart on drupal 6.

We need to jump on getting a D6 stable module. If you guys think you can re-write, test, and debug all the modifications needed to make ubercart not dependent on workflow_ng, tapir, and uBrowser within a month or two after 1.0 comes out, great. I just don't see that happening. With the large amount of users requesting D6 support in ubercart, we need to be converting modules not re-writing them.
