Title:
  Pydot requirement should be optional

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  pydot, the python interface to graphviz, is a required dependency of
  the openerp server. This is unfortunate, as graphviz depends on X,
  meaning that servers running openerp-server need X installed.

  In the core server, pydot is only used in workflow graph drawing, and
  it fails gracefully without it. pydot is not used by any of the addons
  in the main addons repository.

  So, pydot should be removed from the required_modules list in
  setup.py, and moved to being recommended in the documentation.
