--with-html-engine=webkit works for me

That's what I did. I was starting to come round to the idea of putting
guile-1.8.8 in the book (and slib-3b3) but then when I found gnucash
needed: gnome-mime-data, gnome-vfs, libIDL, ORBit2, libbonobo, libgnome,
libart_lgpl, libgnomecanvas, libbonoboui, libgnomeui and an older
version of goffice... No, no thanks. I'd like this legacy stuff to go.
