<p>Changes:</p>
<p>screenlets<br/>
----------<br/>
- remove non-existent dependencies<br/>
- update old dependency versions<br/>
- check individual screenlet's required dependencies at startup, instead after load<br/>
- weather plugin's weather.com api url fix</p>
<p>indiv-screenlets<br/>
----------------<br/>
- change from python-gtkmozembed to python-webkit<br/>
- import required dependencies with try-catch, to be able to alert the user for missing dependencies<br/>
- some screenlets uses the weather api directly, not through the plugin, so I fixed the urls there also</p>

- EMHI<br/>
- evolutionContacts<br/>
- funnyordie<br/>
