www/epiphany* vs x11/gnome2*

Hi. This is just a suggestion really.

I have been running www/epiphany-webkit instead of gecko epiphany. This 
causes a problem with x11/gnome2 and x11/gnome2-power-tools, as both 
expect the gecko epiphany. Portupgrade's pkgdb can fix gnome2, but 
building gnome2-power-tools is a bit more tricky.

My suggestion is to add an option to x11/gnome2 to to use 
www/epiphany-webkit (default off) and to add an option to 
x11/gnome2-power-tools to disable www/epiphany-extensions (default on).

Is it possible to deduce if epiphany is webkit or gecko and use that 
logic to make gnome2-power-tools dynamically decide to include 
epiphany-extensions?
