The dependencies are purely internal already. None of Jaxen is exposed 
in the public API. If I do swap out the engine, it won't have any effect 
on API clients except perhaps in performance and conformance.

It just surprised me a bit that the non-public dependencies have 
unexpected requirements for class loading, so that you  need to have 
jaxen on the class path, even if you don't call the query method. I did 
not initially realize this.
