Fouth take at the webkit/midori bump...

There's support for libgtk2 & libgtk3, though libgtk2 is always needed
for the plugin system.

GL* support was only tested via mesa software renderer.

Wayland support wasn't enabled because it still needs gtk2 (plugins) -
this could possibly be patched away.

Multimedia support is automatic via detection of gst1-plugins-base,
ideally this should be an option but right now opencv+gst generate a
dependency loop if gstreamer1 is selected. Also codecs will need to be
catered by the user via the appropiate gst selects.

MIPS support was disabled pending libatomic support for
__sync_fetch_and_add_8 which is handled there for some 32-bit
architectures.
Update for v2: MIPS(eb) SIGBUSes, so disabled in general, kept the
libatomic tweak for reference. MIPSel untested.
Update for v4: Little-endian works so enabled.

Possible TODOs:
Wayland in a proper way, granite support, gcr support, more arch
testing/support.

v4:
* Bump to version 2.4.9 [Gustavo]

* Install MiniBrowser (the test browser for gtk3+) [Gustavo]

* Enable mipsel & mips64el [Gustavo]
  These seem to work with the emulator, only big-endian is broken.

* Fix make 3.81 workaround, it was doing the opposite [Gustavo]

* Add libatomic fix for SuperH as well [Gustavo]
  It's required to build properly, but runtime testing says it
  doesn't work, though it might be related with Qemu not being
  able to emulate more than 64MB RAM for sh4-r2d.

* Update deprecation version to 2015.08

v3:
* Work around make 3.81 looping bug for webkitgtk24. [Gustavo]

* Fold libatomic patches.
  webkitgtk24 requires libatomic for i386 support.
  While a better solution is desirable for other packages such as
  strongswan on microblazeel there's no final solution yet, and it
  most likely will require copying them anyway. [Gustavo]

* Add host variants of: harfbuzz, cairo, pango, librsvg.
  host-librsvg is required by midori for rsvg-convert.
  The rest are just dependencies of host-librsvg. [Gustavo]

v2:
* Needs NPTL [Gustavo]
  It uses pthread_getattr_np()

* Handle libatomic [Gustavo]
  Needed for i386, mips & mipsel at least.

* Deprecate libgail, no longer used by any package [Gustavo]

v1:

* Bump webkitgtk to version 2.4.x in a versioned package.
  This is because midori can't use 2.6.x or 2.8.x and this way we can
  have another webkitgtk package in parallel for other uses.
  The series is still security-supported upstream.

* Bump midori to version 0.5.9.
  No effort was made to enable support for the old webkit 1.x. series,
  it may be possible to do so but it makes no sense.

* Deprecate old webkit package.
  Security bugs, build issues, general instability.
Gustavo Zacarias (4):
  webkitgtk24: new package
  midori: bump to version 0.5.9
  webkit: mark as deprecated
  libgail: mark as deprecated
