dired is not a good example, since speedbar doesn't use functions from
dired package.  But speedbar.el uses imenu, etags, ange-ftp.  However,
this is not too wrong.  What actually is wrong is the speedbar related
code in info.el.  Polluting info.el with the code supporting all
packages that might use Info internal functions is too bad.  I think
all speedbar related code should be moved from info.el either to
speedbar.el or to a new file with the name like speedbar-info.el.
