Hi Phil,
don't know what version you use but those mime stuff looks irrelevant
for me as windows handle mime types differently.

I build version 1.1.23 now and it works OK.
Build things from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_11.2/
which don't works with local files but when rebuilded whit that patch
local files start working.

You can find binary and libs in:
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/images/d/db/WebKitGTK-1.1.23-win32.zip
For any missing dependency extract one from rpms in first link.

Do anyone know the owners of that builbot and how to contact them (ask
them to include those litle patch also)?
