it is hard to maintain those toolkits, gtk20 is on the way to die you know,
flavors could be provided but at the price of hard and heavy maintenance which I
don't want on such ports. Webkit1 is deprecated and forbidden now, and a gtk2
flavor will require that.

trying to save dead projects (gtk20 is at a dead end) is not the best way to
help the projet, looking forward is the way to go, if you think they are going
in the wrong direction, go to upstream.

Best regards,
