Roll back ctools dependency

Ok. I know we're using it for relation type import/export, so we can just leave that stuff in with a module_exists call, right? Or split it off into a relation_type_export submodule or something.

What other stuff do we use it for?

I agree with chx. Currently the beta is running against a dev version of CTools which makes it the more unstable. If I knew how to do a rollback patch I would do that but don't know really how to start on that. Any tutorial hint on doing that? Can I do something like that with bisect?

you could try reverse-applying that commitdiff (the patch is http://drupalcode.org/project/relation.git/patch/b80c9a3?hp=5503c9193691...)

It probably won't work, so you're likely just going to have to manually go through the patch, and work out what changes need to be made where. There might be a couple of other places that also need changing, that would basically require searching through the whole module for any instances of ctools_* that aren't inside an if (module_exists('ctools')) { ... } statement, and putting them inside one.

Confirmed 100% of branch tests pass after #6 (manual test on scratchtestbot).
