At first glance, I'm inclined to think that the garbage collector should
do it.

The current Project has a UIManager, and that UIManager has a ToolBuilder.
But I don't see an obvious reason why a UIManager needs to have a dedicated
instance of ToolBuilder, as opposed to creating new instances as needed.

Maybe there is some reason that it needs to be set up this way, but my
first inclination would be to see if we can get rid of the toolBuilder
instance variable in UIManager, after which the garbage in the widget
registry would take care of itself.
