gnome-extra/gtkhtml: take over maintenance gtkhtml is deprecated and our Gnome project would like to get rid of it, unfortunately without it app-text/xiphos has to be built without editor support (which is the way e.g. Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat have gone) and from what I have seen many people are unhappy about the inability to use the Studypad or make personal annotations. Xiphos is now the only remaining consumer of this library so I shall maintain it between now and until upstream have implemented a working alternative (apparently they began to discuss it back in April), after which it will be last-rited. Discussed with and approved by leio on IRC.
