xword-dl dependency is still missing.

Hi! Can you implement gwuensch's idea for this pkg to be an optdep of crosswords? Thanks! EDIT: Also xword-dl as dep for this pkg.

I think it's reasonable to drop crosswords as a dependency (and have this plugin listed as optional dependency for crosswords instead). But xword-dl is not another crosswords app, but the crosswords downloader used by this plugin. So definitely a hard dependency for this package, no matter which crossword app you're using.

You both make a fair point and I'll probably add it back. The justification was that this package is basically a bunch of data files. This is a plugin for crosswords rather than the other way around. Really, the more important relation (which I still need to add) is having the puzzle set packages listed as optdepends for crosswords.

In theory, at least, someone might download, build, and install this package, and some other crossword app could make use of it, without ever having xword-dl installed. I admit that's far-fetched at this point in time.

I can confirm this plugin doesn't work without xword-dl.

Why remove xword-dl? It's still listed as a python requirement
