During the Google Summer of Code project to refactor Pod::Html, I asked my
mentors (and I think the IRC channel) what libpods was used for, but no one
knew. Hence, we decided to remove it, as I wouldn't be able to refactor it
if I did not know what it does.
The mistake was removing the argument completely instead of leaving it as a
dummy argument.
