I'm also interested in this project.  I just checked out the `xwidget'
branch and tried to build it.  But:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
xwidget.c:95:26: fatal error: girepository.h: No such file or directory
 #include <girepository.h>
                          ^
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [xwidget.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/xfq/emacs-repo/main/xwidget/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xfq/emacs-repo/main/xwidget'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The same error occured after installing the following packages in Ubuntu
repo:

* gobject-introspection
* libgirepository-1.0-1
* libgirepository1.0-dev
* gir1.2-freedesktop

Any ideas?
