But everybody who played (I can't say used) embedding in current OpenParts,
knows that it is not useable at all (It _never_ really worked!!!!). So as long
as we use that, embedding is just a dream but can't be used. So I think a
working and fast solution is preferable over a slow, unstable, not really
useable one.
