xml handler in its own module

[Doug Tangren]

I wanted to pitch the idea of factoring out the xml handler support for dispatch into it's own module with for the separate dependency needed in scala 2.11 [1]

The current support for xml in dispatch is 15 lines of code ( with spaces! ) [2]. The tax for those 15 lines will cost you about 641K according to maven central [3].

The cost for me as about 213ms

[info] downloading http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/modules/scala-xml_2.11/1.0.1/scala-xml_2.11-1.0.1.jar ...

[info] [SUCCESSFUL ] org.scala-lang.modules#scala-xml_2.11;1.0.1!scala-xml_2.11.jar(bundle) (213ms).

Not much but considering I don't actually use it, it seems wasteful.

For those of you using dispatch for its xml support, do you feel strongly against removing this as an opt-in core dependency and moving it to its own module with a separate dependency on scala 2.11s new xml lib?

If there are no nay-sayers, I will volunteer to do so.

+1  I think this is a good move considering scala.xml will no longer be in scala 2.12

Yeah I think it makes sense. Ideally, there's a release or two where
it's deprecated in its current package and published artifact.
