Webkit status (updated)

[Chris Dennis]

Yes!  It works, and it's wonderful.

I started from scratch in an empty directory, and checked out the webkit 
branch again, ran autogen.sh and this:
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnucash-webkit --enable-webkit \
     --enable-debug --enable-doxygen --enable-error-on-warning \
     --enable-compile-warnings
This time config.h DID include a definition of WANT_WEBKIT, and webkit 
gets included and used.  (I did have to make one change to get it to 
compile -- see the patch below).

So now, reports can use proper CSS stylesheets, giving full control of 
fonts and sizes and colours etc., all of which is easy using eguile-gnc.scm.

This is a big step forward for GnuCash reporting.  I'm celebrating with 
a nice cup of tea.

cheers

Chris
