IIRC, there were issues with labels on controls. We wanted no label on
a button, and had to override the button render method. There were
some other stuff in which the way we wanted the form to look didn't
fit the way H::FH thought a form should look, resulting in overriding
the rendering methods and lots of crufty code.

Keep in mind, this wasn't what made us ditch it in favour of FormFu.
