Just because the problem of circular dependencies exists, doesn't
mean we shouldn't try to build systems utilizing dependencies. It
can be solved/addressed.

"Division by zero" is a known problem in integral arithmetic, but
it doesn't prevent calculator manufacturers from producing simple
calculators, right?

No, I'd like to use what's already available.

I don't consider modular architecture as over-engineering. If
we define modules on reasonable level of granularity, the end
result might be better than one big monolithic GWT application.
