I see your point, one could argue that people don't need jwebunit to
*run* ESME, they only need it to run the tests when building it.

Still, the code that is distributed contains imports of jwebunit, so I
think that's stretching the concept too far.

Might be possible, but getting rid of that jwwebunit dependency would
be much cleaner IMO. I haven't checked how much work that represents,
but according to http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/ that's "just" a
wrapper on top of HtmlUnit which has an Apache license, so using
HtmlUnit instead might not be too hard.
