This actually has nothing to do with providing a GTK webkit option. Such
an option has been around for a while, Epiphany switched to webkit a while
back. OpenedHand has been doing some interesting hacking with WebKit/GTK
too. Much of the great work has been done by Alp Toker. In fact, the GTK+
port of webkit scores 100/100 on the Acid3, while the current QT version
does not, although Holger Freyther has made some good progress toward that
goal.
