[webkit-efl] Porting MiniBrowser to Elementary

[Gyuyoung Kim]

Hi,

Yes, it looks that. But, I'd like to listen opinion from profusion guys who
maintained elm_web in elementary in order to verify this usage. Because
there was objection to use elementary before.
If there is no objection or no reply, I agree to land this basically.

Kubo, do you agree with Christophe ?

In addition, I'm not sure if we need to keep existing MiniBrowsesr without
elementary. If we keep two browsers, there may be troublesome work.

Gyuyoung.
