In this case we should rethink the dependencies of vizkit. If you call 
autoproj update on vizkit you will get:
updating gui/vizkit
   updating base/types
   updating drivers/transformer
   updating external/yaml-cpp
   updating gui/rock_widget_collection
   updating tools/orocos.rb
   updating tools/port_proxy
   updating base/orogen/types
   updating drivers/aggregator
   updating external/sisl
   updating image_processing/frame_helper
   updating orogen
   updating rtt
   updating tools/logger
   updating base/types_ruby
   updating external/opencv
   updating image_processing/jpeg_conversion
   updating typelib
   updating utilmm
   updating utilrb

My understanding of vizkit is that it is the place for the standard 
rock-widgets therefore we moved all the
ruby widgets into it.
