------- Additional Comments from Gustavo Noronha (kov) <gns at gnome.org>
My opinion on this is I would prefer not to reintroduce gnutls, p11kit and
other things. We do not usually do things based on Ubuntu versions - many of us
do not use ubuntu, but Debian or Fedora. That said, if we do worry about Ubuntu
it's the LTS versions that matter, because it's what companies usually have a
policy of running. So I think it would be a good idea to try and keep
WebKitGTK+ buildable in Ubuntu 12.04 from now on, but I would prefer not to try
and support 11.10.

What I suggest for your colleagues that cannot upgrade is to use the jhbuild
modules override facility to add these libraries to their build systems. See
here: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk#Extendingthejhbuildenvironment

r- for the gtk changes, I obviously do not oppose changing EFL if desired =)
