commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=52eed57d80a2c96579d785414b3b7e4055f7a6bd
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
As we're about to remove libgtk2, let's drop the wmgui support from
cwiid, which is libgtk2 only.
Note that cwiid hasn't seen a commit in the past 16 years, so there's
no real hope to see wmgui fixed to have support for a more recent Gtk
version. And perhaps this separately calls for removing cwiid
entirely from Buildroot.
