We might make the Hibernate to envers dependency optional in the 
org.hibernate module.xml:
    <module name="org.envers" optional="true"/>
So, that it is possible for the envers module to be removed for some 
reason (I cannot think of why at the moment but just a thought).

This is where it gets tricky to package envers with the app.  Have you 
synced up with AS7 (7.0.1) master yet?  I have another change coming 
that could impact yours (in queue waiting to be merged).

Anyway, start with packaging envers as a standalone module and try 
bringing a envers test into the as7/testsuite/compat/* based on the 
current embedded test (there are only two tests and one is @Ignored).

Nice work!  :-)

As mentioned above, special care is needed to avoid having two envers 
classloaders in the app deployment.  We might have to make further 
changes to not inject envers into the app, if the app already has its 
own hibernate + envers.
