Remove dependency on Devel

Noticed this a couple years ago, but didn't pay any attention to it haha. Assumed there was some Devel Black Magic going on in the background. I've seen some loose-bindings to Drush, but no hard-dependency on either Drush or Devel. Haven't tested fully, but I'd say it's pretty Devel-free.

opi suggested that it could even be removed from devel and maintained as its own project, as devel_themer once did.

Yeah, most of the discussed here has been discussed before many times :). Moshe is not in favor of releasing devel generate out there and after seeing what's happening with devel_themer, it's probably the right thing to (not) do.

About removing the dependency... I'm not particularly fond of doing it but I'm assigning this to Moshe for the final call.

I'm fine with removing that dependency if the its not needed. pcambra or others can commit this when they are comfortable that no dependency exists ... Lets keep devel_generate where it is for now.

@Rob - what is a loose binding? Of course drush integratio will call into the same code that the UI code calls into. Did you mean something more?

@Moshe I just mean this kind of thing:

function devel_generate_fields(&$object, $obj_type, $bundle) {
  $field_types = field_info_field_types();
  $instances = field_info_instances($obj_type, $bundle);
  $skips = function_exists('drush_get_option') ? drush_get_option('skip-fields', '') : @$_REQUEST['skip-fields'];
  foreach (explode(',', $skips) as $skip) {
    unset($instances[$skip]);
  }

We don't depend on Drush, but if it's there, we use it.

That's gross. Hope I didn't write that :). We should ideally add a param to the function signature adding a ternary in the function.

Tested and fixed in D7 and D8, thanks.

Opened #1968576: Fix "loose bindings" to Drush in Devel generate for fixing the drush "loose binding" thing

@SebCorbin I noticed that while working on this issue
http://drupal.org/node/1397582
but in my patch I changed the function names

I tested the patch on #10 and It works and think that is a better aproach than mine

Ooops, thanks for the fix @SebCorbin
