+1 from another Infinispan consumer && developer.

If you could explain why you don't want to depend on it I'll call
attention on this at the Infinispan meeting, to be held in two weeks,
and see if we can do something in useful time.
If the main reason is bootup time in standalone mode, right now the
testsuite performs a dozen tests per second, to give a rough idea of
where we stand now, but we can work on it more if that's the main
factor.
I don't think we ever spent any effort to optimize the boot time, so
there might be some low hanging fruits.
