FacesMessages dependency on Hibernate

[jessicasant]

I'd like to use FacesMessages in order to pass some success/fail messages (as explained http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.1GA/reference/en/html/conversations.html. However, we're not bundling Hibernate with our Seam app.

Is there a reason for the dependency on Hibernate? Is it possible to use FacesMessages without Hibernate?

This is actually a dependency to Hibernate Validator. I've asked Emmanuel to split Hibernate Annotations into several independent jars, so that Hibernate Validator can be used w/o the rest of Hibernate.
