I was wondering if it would be possible to drop devhelp’s dependency webkitgtk 
and use (for example) gtksourceview instead.

The reason why I am bringing this up is that Homebrew (of which I am a 
maintainer) has decided to drop support for webkitgtk as the quartz backend 
hasn’t worked for a long time and doesn’t appear to be properly maintained.
Unfortunately this has also meant we had to drop devhelp, the only software 
package we offered with a hard webkitgtk dependency. This had the very 
unpleasant consequence of dropping the optional devhelp support in Anjuta and 
Gnome-builder :-(

I understand that moving away from webkitgtk would be a lot of work, but 
perhaps it might be worth considering it? Anyway, I am looking forward to hear 
other people’s opinions on this.

Tom
