[webkit-efl] Support for WAI-ARIA standard.

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Another pro is that it is quite well tested by GNOME and I think the
GTK guys made it already work with WebKit2.

We already depend quite heavily on glib and similar libraries and I
think that is fine, let's just not start depending on GTK+ :-)

Can you list all dependencies? Just glib (with gobject)?

Is this work going to be for WebKit2/EFL?

How important is this work? Is it for phone accessibility, TV? If for
the latter you should consider spatial navigation as well.

Cheers
Kenneth
