	There is no bloat there that cannot be pruned down, I don't know
that I'd personaly do it for every widget, but the promise of trivial,
working language bindings for every language with little effort is a nice
one.

	There is no need per-se for a widget to be complicated in order
for it to be componentized IMHO.
