	Not sure this case would be needed. But in previous projects, where I
couldn't use directly the scroll bars of the web view (issue happened
with gtkhtml and mozilla), I needed to get a way to locate the area in
web view taken by the current match.

	So just, it would be interesting that there would be API for this, or
at least take this requirement into account, to not make damn difficult
to do this in the future.
