We're now at Webkit 2.7.3. Do you have any updates about bumping the
webkit package? We still have the old patches from Hadrien Boutteville
in patchwork: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375495/ and
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375494/. It would be good to be able
to get rid of them at some point by having a version that fully works
and that can therefore be applied.

Thanks!

Thomas
