I've dropped the dependency on the Contained mix-in class but not the fact
of the utility being contained: it now implements
zope.location.interfaces.ILocation directly. This means I've dropped the
package dependency on zope.container but kept one on zope.location.

Done.

I think I'll release the current zope.error later today so people get the
benefit of the lighter dependencies.
