I've "git cherry-picked" the history of the webkitgtk program onto the
master branch to make it easier to work on, without having to switch
branches. I haven't built the program yet myself as I haven't
installed the webkitgtk libraries. I didn't attempt to do a "git
merge" as there is history from another program, "qt-info" on the
"webkitgtk-info" branch. I do not expect to see any more development
on the "qt-info" program. It's likely that I'll delete the
"webkitgtk-info" branch shortly. There may be some good changes to
js/info.js on the "qt-info" branch so I will leave the "qt-info"
branch for now, for reference.
